A British man's body has been found wrapped in a plastic bag in a ditch in Bali with his throat slit.
The man, named in reports as 60-year-old Robert Ellis, was found tied up in and dead in the Bangdun region of the island.
He was found in the Badung region in a ditch alongside a foam mattress which is believed to have been used to carry him, according to local media.
A forensics doctor at the Sanglah Hospital, Ida Bagus Putu Alit, confirmed that he had cuts to his throat including one which severed a major artery.
The man was first identified as Australian, and is believed to have lived there for several years.
He died early on Monday morning, according to police in Bali. His body and face was badly bruised and his arms and legs had been tied up.
He is believed to have been living in a luxury apartment complex with his Indonesian wife.
A Foreign Office spokesman said officials are liaising with local police, adding: "We were notified about the death of a British national on Bali on October 21. The Foreign Office stands ready to give consular assistance".
