Sky, 42, whose real name was Adam Neat, died
after crashing through a glass door while trying to help a
friend who had fallen from a terrace, according to a statement
posted on his Facebook page.
"It is with great regret that we can confirm Adam Neat was
involved in a fatal accident while trying to help a friend who
had suffered multiple fractures in Bali on Saturday 4th May
2019," it read, adding that the family had traveled to Bali.
Born in Melbourne but based in Singapore, Sky was ranked Asia's
third most popular DJ last year, his website shows. Fans and
friends posted tributes on social media.
Reuters could not immediately reach the family in Bali to seek
comment.
Media said the family had declined an autopsy and authorities
were not treating the death as suspicious.
"We found little cuts, bruises and abrasions on the face and
both knees," said Ida Bagus Putu Alit, the forensics head at the
Denpasar Sanglah General Hospital, where the body was taken.
"One of the wounds is deep on the right forearm."
Indonesian authorities said the friend, a woman, had survived
and was being treated for a fractured leg.
"We suspect (Sky) was injured by shattered glass on his elbow,"
said police official Doddy Monza. "He received the treatment
late because the accident happened quite late and the resort is
quite remote."
