During a stay in Vanuatu, near Fiji, he suddenly collapsed on the sidewalk, his family said on GoFundMe.

The exact cause of death is still unclear, but the family suspects it could have been a heart attack or stroke.

A family friend set up the fundraising page to help his bereaved wife Heidi during this difficult time.

"Our condolences go out to Heidi and the rest of the family. Our deepest and most sincere condolences to each of you. We can't even begin to understand what they are all going through," wrote the initiator of the GoFundMe page.

So far, over 9250 Australian dollars (around 5700 euros) have already been collected for the grieving family.
