A 25-year-old Perth man has died after falling through a hotel room window in Kuta.

Denpasar police confirmed Daniel Evans was taken to Siloam hospital early on Thursday morning and later died from his injuries.

"At 3.10 we did a preliminary examination, we found bruises and wounds on his limbs, stomach and back," forensic doctor Ida Bagus Putu Alit Alit told Fairfax Media.

It's believed Evans struck a major blood vessel when he fell through the glass at the Harris hotel in Bali.

Police has ruled out any signs of foul play.

"He was drunk, he was trying to go to his room, he lost his balance and fell through the glass window," Kuta police chief Deddy Januartha reports Fairfax Media.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. DFAT is providing consular support to the man's family.

Evans was on holiday with his girlfriend and two other friends, all of whom have given statements to the authorities.

Facebook tributes are flooding in for the West Australian, a young father, who is believed to have spent the day prior to the tragic accident getting a tattoo.

A friend travelling with Evans posted online "RIP Daniel Evans ... We had a beautiful day in Bali with you :( ... wish this never happened ... Love you so much my brother hope ur okay up there"
