An Australian father of two has tragically died while on a cruise holiday with his family.
Edward Langley fell on a footpath during a stopover in Vanuatu, a popular holiday destination in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.
According to his family, he may have died of a heart attack or stroke.
The father of two is now mourned by his wife Heidi and his two children; daughter Marizel and son Timmy.
According to family friend Estie Esterhuizen, the exact cause of death is still unknown.
“Our deepest and most sincere condolences to each of you,” she said.
‘We can’t even imagine what you’re all going through right now…’
Mrs. Esterhuizen is raising money for the family after the sudden loss through a GoFundMe campaign that has raised over $5,000 to date.

“Hopefully we can all make a difference and help her and the family through this uncertain and devastating time following the sudden loss of her husband, Edward,” she said.
‘There have been a few requests for ways friends and family can support and help her, so this is just one way we can donate and help in a way we all know is difficult and expensive.
‘On behalf of Heidi, I want to thank you and hope we can come together not only to celebrate Edward’s life, but to support this family who need us all now more than ever.’
