Fuifuikula ‘O Lofakaitamaki ‘Ealelei’s body is now at the Fountain Funerals in Papakura.
A failotu service for the 26-year-old is expected to be held at the mortuary this afternoon at 4pm.
‘Ealelei’s co-workers attempted to wake him up on Sunday May 16 at 12pm before they discovered he was dead, RSE Liaison Officer in New Zealand Sefita Hao’uli told Kaniva News.
‘Ealelei died at the Mr Apple Tongan RSE worker’s accommodation at Williams St, Hastings.
The young father is survived by his wife and their two children.
There are now 1162 Tongan workers in New Zealand.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
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.
