Australian man falls from second floor of hotel in Bali's Kuta region
An Australian man has been rushed to hospital in Bali's popular party precinct of Kuta, after falling from the second floor of a hotel and suffering serious spinal injuries. The incident reportedly occurred around 4.25am on Saturday morning at Ramada Encore Hotel. Video footage from the fall has been released by Badung Fire Department, which shows emergency service crews lowering the unidentified man to the ground on a stretcher while he cries out in pain. 'I can't', 'oh my god', he could be heard saying in the grainy footage. Authorities confirmed the man to be in his 30s, and known only as Dylan. They said he had suffered a tailbone fracture as a result of the traumatic fall, with the cause not yet known. The horror fall comes just months after Australian DJ and OnlyFans creator, Courtney Mills, fell to her death from a balcony while in Kuta. The 37-year-old was visiting her two dogs in Bali when she fell. Ms Mills was rushed to hospital with critical injuries, and after undergoing several emergency operations, she died two days later. At the time, Ms Mills sister, Kiani, said her sibling had a 'sparkle' unlike any other. 'Our hearts are shattered as we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of our beloved Courtney Mills, in Bali,' she posted on Facebook. 'Courtney touched the hearts of everyone she met. Her light, sparkle, and spirit will forever remain with us. 'Courtney lived her life to the fullest and brought so much joy to those around her.'

Shock details emerge about moments before Aussie plunged from his hotel room in Bali and suffered horrific spinal injuries
An Aussie who survived a horrific fall after plunging from the third floor of a Bali hotel had been in a heated argument with his girlfriend moments earlier. The 30-year-old man, identified by police as Dylan, fell from the balcony of his Ramada Encore Hotel room in Kuta at about 4.25am local time on Saturday. Dylan and his girlfriend are understood to have been engaged in a public argument in the lead-up to the fall. Local witness Made Suwitra claimed the pair were shouting in the hotel bar before they were asked to lower their voices so as not to disturb the other guests. The couple said 'no problem' and returned to their room on the third floor before another disturbance was reported by a hotel staff member. Dylan later fell from their balcony, landing on the rooftop of the housekeeping office that was on the floor below. The Aussie landed face down, injuring his tailbone. The hotel's on-call doctor decided it was not safe to bring him down without assistance, so they called local authorities for help. Footage from the incident showed emergency services carefully lowering the 30-year-old to the ground on a stretcher. Dylan was heard groaning in pain and saying 'I can't' and 'oh my god'. The Aussie was taken to BIMC Hospital in Kuta for further treatment. He did not suffer any life-threatening injuries. Denpasar Police spokesperson Ketut Sukadi said police have launched an investigation. Kuta has a controversial reputation among travel bloggers, as it has become known for 'over-tourism' along with its rowdy nightlife and heavily congested traffic. The district in the south of the capital, Denpasar, was rocked by a similar tragedy earlier this year. Melbourne woman Courtney Mills died after falling from her hotel balcony in Kuta. Ms Mills, a passionate DJ, was found lying on the side of the hotel's pool around 1am. Hotel staff had taken her to her room around an hour earlier. Her sister Kiani praised the DJ's 'sparkle' as she paid tribute following the tragic incident. 'Our hearts are shattered as we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of our beloved Courtney Mills, in Bali,' she wrote on Facebook. 'Courtney touched the hearts of everyone she met. Her light, sparkle, and spirit will forever remain with us.
