The body of fashion photographer Simon Atlee, who perished in the Christmas Tsunami in Thailand, was recovered last week.
Atlee, 33, was holidaying in Thailand with his girlfriend, Victoria's Secret model Petra Nemcova, when the waves struck. Nemcova managed to survive by holding onto a tree for eight hours. She was rescued and transported back to the Czech Republic to recover at home. She will attend his funeral service in London in the next few days.
His sister, Jodi Hansard, told the New York Daily News: "We're very relieved that he's been found, and we're grateful for all the hard work that people have done to help find him. We'd really appreciate being left alone now to mourn him privately."
