Tonga Tsunami: Body Of Brighton Woman Swept Away By Wave Found

The body of a Brighton woman swept away by the tsunami in Tonga has been found, her brother has confirmed.

Angela Glover disappeared after an undersea volcano erupted near the country on Saturday, sending large tsunami waves crashing across the island's shore.

The 50-year-old's family and friends had appealed for information on her whereabouts, with Facebook posts stating that Mrs Glover and her husband, James, went home to collect their dogs when the tsunami hit.

Ms Glover's brother Nick Eleini said the family is "devastated" and has asked for time for the family to grieve.:

He said:

"Angela and James loved their life in Tonga and adored the Tongan people, in particular the Tongan love of family and the Tongan culture."
