Jacob Vennix drowned while on his honeymoon in Bali with his new wife Kimberley Fuller. A fundraiser has been set up to support his family. The fundraiser, set up to support the family of newlywed Jacob Vennix who drowned while on honeymoon in Bali , has raised more than $40,000. Mr Vennix's wife, Kimberley Fuller, said she would use the money to support her family, bring her husband home and to donate a defibrillator to the Bali hospital where her husband was treated.

The heartbroken wife of a man who drowned while swimming in Bali intends to donate a defibrillator to the hospital where her husband was taken, using money from a fundraiser organised to support his family.
