December 31st 2024.
Tragedy struck on the idyllic island of Bali as a newlywed man lost his life during his honeymoon. Jacob Vennix, just 32 years old, drowned at Pasut Beach while his wife, Kimberley Fuller, could only watch helplessly from the shore. The couple had been enjoying a swim in the crystal-clear waters when a strong current swept Vennix out to sea.
The newlyweds had been staying at a nearby villa, relishing in the romance and beauty of their honeymoon destination. However, their dream vacation took a devastating turn as Vennix was pulled further and further away from the safety of the shore. Fuller acted quickly, calling for assistance, and two locals bravely rushed to her husband's aid in a boat.
Despite their efforts, the boat capsized during the rescue operation, and Vennix was brought back to shore unconscious. His wife and the locals desperately tried to revive him through CPR, but tragically, they were unable to save him. The couple, who had just been married on December 20 in Adelaide, had their fairytale cut short, leaving Fuller heartbroken and in shock.
Vennix was a well-liked and dedicated employee, according to his employer who spoke to 9News. He also had a big heart and was a volunteer with Guide Dogs SA/NT. In fact, just a few months prior, he had raised thousands of dollars for the charity by running in South Australia's City to Bay fun run while blindfolded. The charity expressed their deep sorrow over his passing and extended their condolences to his family.
News of Vennix's tragic death has reached the Department of Foreign Affairs, who is now aware of the situation. As of now, it is unclear when Vennix's body will be brought back home to his loved ones. The whole community is mourning the loss of a kind and generous man who will be deeply missed by all those who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
