THE heartbroken mother of Australian traveller Denni North has told of her devastation amid revelations drugs were found at the scene of her daughter's death.
Friends of Ms North told The Sunday Mail the party drug GHB, also known as Fantasy, was discovered at her villa in Canggu, Bali, in the hours after she was rushed to hospital on December 30.
It is understood the drugs were not at the scene when police arrived following the Deception Bay woman's death.
Her shattered mother, Wendy, said the family was still unsure how the 33-year-old died but were awaiting autopsy results from Queensland authorities.
In an exclusive interview, Mrs North said she had not been told of GHB at the scene and revealed the family were still grappling with the death.

Despite the anguish of losing her daughter, Mrs North said she had one good reason to smile this week - the birth of her granddaughter named Loki Dennielle North.
"My son Jamie named his new daughter, born on Wednesday January 23, Loki Dennielle after his sister. It's his first daughter. He has a son and two step-daughters," Mrs North said.
"She (Denni) won't be forgotten."
The vivacious traveller, who had spent four years trekking the world, was found collapsed by the pool of her Canggu villa at about 8.30am on Sunday December 30.
In the weeks since her death, mystery has surrounded her final hours.
While Bali police reported Ms North likely drowned, friends speaking on the condition of anonymity last week told The Sunday Mail a jar containing GHB was found nearby.
"There was a bottle of Fantasy and a bag of pills at the villa," said one.
"Police didn't do an autopsy in Bali so they had no reason to believe it was drugs."
GHB is a depressant drug, which can cause deep relaxation and euphoria.
It has been termed the "date rape drug" and can be fatal when mixed with alcohol as it can cause respiratory collapse.
Experts said GHB was dose-dependent and needed to be measured carefully.
"With GHB the difference between having a 'good time' and needing to go to the emergency room is very small," said UNSW drug and alcohol researcher Paul Dillon, who could not speculate on the cause of death in Ms North's case.
GHB cannot be traced in a toxicology report.
Speaking from her Deception Bay home, Mrs North said she knew nothing of drugs at the scene and the cause of death had not yet been confirmed.
"I don't know anything about drugs," Mrs North said.
"The toxicology report in Bali was clear of drugs and we are waiting for the results of an autopsy (in Australia). My eldest daughter Jodie is handling that.
"We still don't know what caused the death but it wasn't an accidental drowning as has been said before. She was found unconscious beside the pool."
She said many rumours had emerged about what happened during her daughter's final hours and she was upset her ex-husband Dennis made claims on television in the wake of the incident.
Of her ex-husband's television appearance Mrs North simply said: "It made me very angry."
