Drinking local spirit killed teacher in Bali, says her family

A 21-year-old teacher died while on holiday in Bali two days after drinking a local spirit which her family believe may have killed her.

Roisin Burke, from Oaklawn West in Leixlip, Co Kildare, died on May 31 last year after she became ill while holidaying on islands off Bali’s coast.

Dublin Coroner’s Court heard that Roisin had been working in Jakarta, Indonesia, as an English teacher, and was holidaying on the Gili islands with a group of friends when she died.
