His death was only the beginning of a long and traumatic quest for answers from his devastated family.

“They just rung us to ask if we were aware that his heart was retained over in Bali,” Chantal said.

“It was another kick in the guts.”

It remains unclear why Byron’s organ was removed.

It was only sent back to Australia months after his funeral and burial.
