Police in Bali are investigating the death of an Australian man whose body was found in the pool of a villa in the tourist area of Canggu, north of Kuta.

The body of 31-year-old Tyler Kennedy, from Queensland's Sunshine Coast, was discovered by friends on Wednesday night.

Mr Kennedy's friends said he was at the villa for a party and jumped in the pool about 8:30pm.

They noticed his body floating in the water about 10 minutes later when they pulled him out and attempted CPR.

Police said an investigation did not start until Friday because his death was not immediately reported.

An ambulance and doctor were called but Mr Kennedy could not be revived.
