Foreign Minister Marise Payne confirmed the death yesterday, however authorities have not detailed the circumstances surrounding the man's death.
This comes as India records 401,078 new cases and 4187 coronavirus related deaths in the last 24 hours.People are silhouetted against multiple burning funeral pyres of patients who died of COVID-19 in New Delhi, India."I don't think it's helpful to speculate and particularly out of respect for the family," Ms Payne told 2GB.
If he was a permnant resident why was he in India then?
An Australian permanent resident is not an Australian citizen. There would also be heaps over there living on their dual nationality basis there. I cannot expect all these 'Australians' doing are visa runs every 3 or so months to get their tourist visa's renewed.

'permanent resident' means obviously also an actual citizen of another country. this is not our problem.

Calls for nationwide lockdown in India amid warnings of 1m COVID deaths by AugustIndia continues to report new COVID-19 death and case records every other day, as its vaccination campaign falters and the central government resists a lockdown.

Australian man dies after contracting COVID-19 in India, authorities confirmAn Australian permanent resident has died after contracting COVID-19 in India, as the pandemic continues to devastate the subcontinent. Seems there is at least one case in Lebanon that no one is reporting of a man who was desperately trying to return and could not too. Congratulations Scott The man is a permanent resident, not an Australian citizen. This is poor, factually incorrect agenda driven reporting.
