·

Melbourne men, Vincent Atulia, 24, and Andrew Colivas, 25, have died under mysterious circumstances while vacationing in Vietnam.

The Herald Sun said Vietnamese police are investigating whether Atulia and Colivas suffered drug overdoses.

In response to their deaths, family members have set up GoFundMe pages to raise funds to cover the costs of repatriation and funeral expenses.

Both Atulia and Colivas were passionate about boxing. Atulia was also a player for the Casey Warriors rugby league team, a member of St Agatha’s Church parish in Cranbourne, and worked as a tradesman.

“It is with great sadness that we share the message of the untimely passing of our beloved son and friend Andrew Colivas,” his family announced.

“He tragically lost his life in Vietnam and it’s going to be a long process to bring him home.”

A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) confirmed that the department is offering consular assistance to Colivas’ family, as well as to three other Australians affected by the situation.

“We send our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time. Owing to our privacy obligations we are unable to provide further comment,” the spokesperson added.
