Tributes have poured in for an Irish-born student who died suddenly in Bali after travelling there for dental treatment.
Niamh Finneran Loader, 25, who lived in Australia, is understood to have emigrated from Ireland to Perth from with her family when she was a little girl.
She flew to the Indonesian island of Bali earlier this month to have dental word done but died while she was there on December 2, with mystery surrounding her death.

An autopsy has since been carried out and Indonesian police are investigating the circumstances of her death.
Niamh has been described by her heartbroken family as a "wonderful, kind, fun-loving young woman who brought brightness into everyone's lives".
She was a talented student with a "bright future" who was studying for a masters degree at the University of Western Australia and had been awarded the prestigious Kate King legal prize earlier this year.
She was due to head to the United States early next year for an internship as part of the Mannkal Economic Education Foundation.
Niamh was also a regular contributor to politics and affairs magazine The Spectator Australia who remembered her for her "cheeky Irish sense of humour" as well as her "strong intellect".
In a tribute piece published in the Spectator, Mark Burgess wrote: "I will remember Niamh for her cheeky Irish sense of humour and sharp wit, coupled with a strong intellect, which facilitated enjoyable philosophical discussions."
He continued: "Niamh had a very bright future ahead of her, and she has been taken far too soon. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends at this difficult time."
Her family members took to social media to pay tribute as they came to grips with the tragic news.
Chloe Loader wrote on Facebook: "Yesterday we lost an incredible woman. I've woken up today and the reality has hit me, hard, that she's really gone. No matter the physical distance between us, we've been so close all these years.
"From swings as kids, to clubbing as young adults, to watching dolphins in Australia, and all the chats in between - I'll always cherish all our special memories together forever."
Eoghan Finneran wrote on social media: "We were all devastated by the sudden loss of our beautiful niece Niamh Finneran. Words can't express our sorrow.
"Taken far too soon, at the age of just 25, from her heartbroken parents and loving brothers Joe, Daniel and Ronan. Heaven is a brighter place this week."
Niamh's parents have flown to Bali to arrange the repatriation of her body and a fundraising page has been set up to help cover the repatriation costs, and has since raised €23,000 ($36,000 AUD).
The Go Fund Me page reads: "Niamh was taken suddenly from us on the 2nd of December while in Bali, where she was receiving dental treatment. She was a Masters's student at the University of Western Australia and was due to head to the United States in January 2023 as part of the Mannkal Economic Education Foundation.
"Niamh was a wonderful, kind, fun-loving young woman who brought brightness into everyone's lives. The proceeds of this fundraising will go to the family to help cover the costs of the post-mortem and repatriating Niamh back to Australia."
