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.
