He had reportedly planned to switch rooms the next day, but never emerged the following morning.
A cleaner said she discovered the Brit’s body when she checked on the guest at around 12:30pm on September 27.
She said she grew suspicious as he had still not woken up past noon and reported to the hotel staff who called the police to investigate.
Head of Public Relations of the Badung Police said: “The witness tried to clean the room because the victim had actually wanted to move rooms.
“It was his own request the day before. The witness knocked on the room wall several times but there was no response.
“Suspecting something unwanted had happened in the room, she tried to open the curtain and was shocked to see the victim lying face down.”
Officials said there were no signs of violence found.
The hotel’s receptionist confirmed the Brit had talked to her the night before requesting for a room change.
Badung Police said they believe the Brit was ill.
A post-mortem examination is being carried out to determine his cause of his death.
The Foreign Office have been approached for comment.
The tragic death comes after a tourist died after he plummeted 82 feet while trying to take a selfie with his girlfriend.
Giancarlo Zicari, 49, an engineer from Matera, Italy was in Bali with his girlfriend Ilaria Biagi, 25, when a railing gave way at a popular waterfall spot.
The couple were enjoying their dream holiday when they visited the Gajah Mas waterfalls, in the Baturiti district, in Bali, Indonesia.
According to Tabanan Police Public Relations Chief, Gusti Made Berata, the couple had left the left the Homm Saranam Hotel for a walk to Villa Gajah Mas.
He said: “At around 11:15 am, the couple continued their journey to the waterfall, located about 500 meters below the villa.”
“They reached a terrace with two wooden chairs and an iron fence created specifically to prevent visitors from falling.
“The victim is suspected to have died after falling from the area of the villa waterfall in Gajah Mas, approximately 25 meters high.”
According to police reports, Zicari proposed a selfie with the waterfall in the background.
The couple leaned on the fence, which gave way under their weight.
According to La Stampa, Ilaria, from Turin, managed to survive the fall and was assisted by a Ukrainina woman Sokoliuk Viktoria, who was staying at the villa.
