The body of a British woman swept away by the tsunami in Tonga has been found.
Nick Eleini told broadcasters the family was devastated after his sister, Angela Glover, died trying to rescue her dogs.
Her body was found by her husband, who managed to cling to a tree when the wave hit, following the eruption of a volcano.
It is the first known death from the disaster, caused by the eruption of the volcano on Saturday.
The underwater volcano erupted about 40 miles north of the capital Nuku'alofa.
The eruption, which was heard as far away as the US, caused waves higher than three feet to crash into Tonga.
Tongans living overseas are facing an anxious wait for news of loved ones as communications to the country have been badly damaged.
The scale of the destruction has not yet been established.
More than 6,000 miles away, two people drowned off a beach in northern Peru amid abnormally high waves.
