The family of a south-western Sydney boy electrocuted at a luxury Fiji resort are raising money to bring their son home to be buried.
Cairo Winitana, 8, was holidaying with his family last Thursday when he was found "motionless" near a flower garden at a hotel.
Fiji Police have confirmed Cairo, who was a New Zealand citizen, was taken to Nadi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead by a staff nurse.
"Our beautiful little boy Cairo ... loving Son of Amber and Clarke, passed away in a tragic accident whilst on holidays in Fiji," family member Glenys Wana posted.
"They now have the heartbreaking job of bringing their son home from Fiji and laying him to rest at home in Australia."
She said the money would go to the parents to help with travel expenses and funeral costs.
The GoFundMe has reached more than $18,000 donations so far.
The Milperra Colts rugby league football team posted a tribute to their player.
"Our sincere condolences go out to the Winitana family and many friends. He was a shy, tough little kid who loved his footy," the team posted.
A police spokesperson said the post-mortem conducted yesterday had confirmed the cause of death as electrocution.
They said investigations would continue into the circumstances surrounding the boy's death.
A New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman confirmed they were supporting the boy's family.
"We are aware of the death of a child in Denarau and are providing assistance to the family," the spokeswoman said.
Denarau island is a luxury tourist destination, with high-end resorts making it very popular with tourists.
