Authorities in Tonga say the human remains found on June 25 have been identified as those of Niumataevalu Talanoa Lelei (47), from the village of Malapo.
Tonga police said a group of local fishermen found the decomposed human remains near a sea cliff at the village of Veitongo.
The remains were sent to New Zealand and a report received last week confirmed the outcome after the forensic pathologists matched DNA of the deceased with a relative, Tonga police said.
There was no evidence of foul play over the death of Lelei, and the information submitted to an inquest confirmed that it was a suicide.
Police report says at the time they found a briefcase and Tongan passports at the scene. A rope was also found hanging from a nearby tree.
Lelei was not reported missing, acccording to Police.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
