A new bride who was found dead in a Swansea tanning booth two hours after going in has been pictured for the first time.
Piata Tauwhare, 30, is believed to have collapsed with a heart problem shortly after entering the booth at Lextan tanning studio on Carmarthen Road.
She had booked an 11-minute session but failed return after two hours and did not respond to calls from her husband Ifan Jones.
Emma Collyer-Miles, 42, a worker at the salon, broke the door down and said she had a feeling that Piata had died before she knew.
Mental health worker Piata has had a GoFundMe set up for her family.
In a tribute, husband Ifan said his wife was ‘his everything and so much more.

‘Anyone who has ever had the pleasure to grace the presence of Piata Tauwhare will know that she was one of the kindest and purest souls they have ever and will ever remember.
‘Her gleaming smile, eternally set on her sun-kissed face will live happily in our hearts forever. Even when she didn’t understand a word our weird Welsh accents were saying, her teeth still glistened courteously and reassuringly to make us feel heard.
‘That was her in a nutshell, a compassionate, selfless woman, putting others first, even when she couldn’t understand a bloody word we were saying.
‘Pi was the most caring, special daughter, sister, cousin, friend and wife.’
Police called to the salon at 4.05pm by paramedics but Piata was pronounced dead the same day.
Detective Inspector Gareth Jones of South Wales Police said: ‘South Wales Police was called around 4.05pm on Saturday, May 28, by the Welsh Ambulance Service following reports that the body of a woman had been found at commercial premises on Carmarthen Road, Fforestfach.

‘Her next of kin have been informed and a file has been passed to the coroner.’
A spokesperson for Lextan confirmed the woman who died at the tanning salon was a customer and said staff are being offered counselling following the tragedy.
‘We can sadly confirm that a customer died while at our Fforestfach salon on Saturday, May 28,’ the spokesperson said.
