The heartbroken family of a newlywed bride found dead in a Swansea tanning salon is raising cash to fly her home to New Zealand.
Piata Tauwhare, 30, collapsed in the tanning booth after booking an appointment for an 11-minute session.
The alarm was raised when her worried husband Ifan Jones, 23, was unable to contact her following the visit.
He called his mother Emma Collyer-Miles, 42, who then went to try to find Piata at Lextan in Swansea, South Wales, on Saturday.
The family is now raising money to fly tragic Piata home to New Zealand after her body was discovered on the ground in an upstanding tanning booth.
It is believed she suffered sudden arrhythmic death syndrome before she was found up to two hours later.
