The expat community in Bali is in mourning after a retired Australian engineer who was allegedly viciously attacked twice in his Bali villa died overnight.
Neil John Bourke, known as John, was in a coma with severe head injuries after he was found bleeding on his living room floor in his villa in Gunung Salak in Kerobokan on   May 11 in mysterious circumstances. 
The disturbing incident - which has shocked and unsettled the expat and Gereja Kristus Yesus church communities - was the second time Mr Bourke has been attacked in 11 days according to friends.
Police - who were waiting for Mr Bourke to recover so they could interview him - were treating the case as an assault but said there was no sign of a break-in.
The friend who found the 63-year-old lying in a pool of blood - Polce Fanggidae - said Mr Bourke had asked him three days prior to the attack to take care of his beloved dog if anything happened to him.
Photos taken after the first time he was allegedly attacked show wounds - reportedly from a stick - criss-crossing Mr Bourke's head. A photo after last week's alleged assault of Mr Bourke - unconscious with a blackened eye and blood soaked bandage - was considered too distressing to publish by Fairfax Media.
"For all friends and peoples who love, care and pray for John. This morning, about 1am (Bali time), Mr. Neil John Bourke has passed away. Rest in Peace John. See you again in God's presence in eternity," Gabriel Goh, a pastor from Gereja Kristus Yesus church in Kuta posted on Facebook.
His Facebook post was inundated with messages of grief and gratitude for the assistance provided by Pastor Goh and other friends.
"Oh this breaks my heart rip john and God bless all who stayed with John through this rough time," Melissa Brown wrote.
More than $15,000 was raised on a Gofundme page after it emerged last week that Mr Bourke needed emergency surgery to relieve pressure on his brain but didn't have insurance to cover his medical expenses.
"The Australian community really stepped up to help him out," said friend Brandon Ingram. "People are pretty shocked about this happening. I'm an American but I have been living in Bali all these years and it's really neat to see how Australians take care of their own."
Mr Ingram, an assistant pastor at Gereja Kristus Yesus church, said Mr Bourke's wife had been a member of the congregation and he got to know Mr Bourke during Thursday morning visitations.
"I connected a lot to him. We were both Westerners and he needed a friend. He was just a really nice and friendly guy - a great guy to be around.
"Not too long ago he started to open himself up to want to go to church. My pastor asked him if he wanted to accept Christ into his life for salvation, so he did that.
Pastor Goh said Mr Bourke, who was from the Northern Territory but had lived in Bali for about a decade, told a close friend he wanted to be cremated and his ashes scattered on a beach in Sanur.
