Mr Mungau died in Port Vila on January 5 after developing an infection in a leg wound that wasn't treated.

The Associated Press reports Mr Mungau, in his mid-20s, earned a role in the Oscar-nominated film Tanna, because his elders decided he was the best-looking guy in Yakel.

Tanna co-director Martin Butler said Mr Mungau was enthusiastic, learned quickly, and ended up giving a fabulous performance.

The movie won a number of awards, including two at the Venice Film Festival.

He is survived by his wife and two children.

The immense gravity slowly strips the stellar material from its parent, forming a disc of gas around the black hole as it converts gravitational energy into electromagnetic radiation, producing a bright source of light visible on multiple wavelengths.

Then, even more dramatically, a narrow beam of particles shoots out of the black hole at almost the speed of light.

This galactic phenomenon -- known as relativistic jets -- was first discovered almost five years ago.
