He was able to cling to a tree but Angela – who ran a dog sanctuary – was swept out to sea with up to five of her dogs. Her brother Nick Eleini has now confirmed her body has been found, Sky News reports. He said the family “devastated” by Angela’s deat. “Angela and James loved their life in Tonga and adored the Tongan people, in particular the Tongan love of family and the Tongan culture.” Heartbroken Nick had earlier said he feared worst and that it’s now a case of “body retrieval” rather than finding her alive. “But I am hoping, it’s all I can do,” he told New Zealand’s 1News. “James was able to hold on to a tree for quite some period of time. “I don’t know if Angela was swept away immediately or whether she was swept away afterwards.” Most read in News NEW PLAN Work from home and jab passports to be DROPPED in nine days but face masks to stay DON'T GET BURNED Terrifying new method burglars are using to get into homes SWEPT AWAY Brit last seen clinging to rocks is 'missing' after devastating Tonga tsunami BABY TRAGEDY Five-month-old baby girl dies after being unwell at home as man, 24, arrested HUNT FOR KILLER Police warn villagers to ‘lock windows & doors’ as woman, 86, murdered BRONCO TRAGEDY Tributes to ‘beautiful’ bride-to-be who died while riding bucking bronco A tearful Nick paid tribute to his sister saying “we just adored her”. He described his sister as “great, fun girl” who was popular with locals and loved the culture. “She really embraced it, she loved the Tongans, she just thought they were wonderful people. She really grew into the Tonga way of life.” Nick told The Guardian his sister had been washed away with four or five dogs who she was walking at the time. Her and her husband were housesitting at a home on the west coast of the island when the tsunami struck. “One of the dogs has been found, but Angela hasn’t been found,” he said. “It’s excruciating. I can’t even believe the words are coming out of my mouth, to be honest.” Earlier Angela, who moved from London to Veitongo five years ago, posted a haunting last picture on Instagram. ‘WE ADORED HER’ The image shows an ominous red sunset over Tonga in the wake of the volcanic eruption that led to the tsunami. “We’ve been under tsunami warnings today…everything’s fine… a few swells ….a few eerie silences,” she wrote. The Foreign Office confirmed it was helping a number of Brits following the massive undersea volcanic eruption. The effects of the blast, captured by satellite, were felt as far away as California where waves swept inland, causing floods. Power was out across Tonga as officials worked to assess casualty figures and damage. New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern said contact had still not been established with coastal areas beyond the capital, Nuku’alofa, which was “covered in thick plumes of volcanic dust”. Foreign Office minister Lord Tariq Ahmad, meanwhile, tweeted: “The UK stands ready to help and support our Tongan friends.” Angela was swept out to see with up to five of her dogs Nick Eleini said Angela Glover’s family ‘adored’ her TwitterFootage on social media showed large waves crashing ashore in coastal areas of Tonga[/caption] APSmoking Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on Jan 7[/caption] RexThe eruption of an underwater volcano off Tonga, which triggered a tsunami warning[/caption] Dramatic official aerial maps showed the eruption cloud over Tonga The effects of the Tongan blast were felt as far away as the USA
