\nSouth Wales Police said that there are no suspicious circumstances.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nMrs<\/span>\u00a0Boyle\u2019s family released a statement in both Welsh and English paying tribute to the much-loved teacher, who taught at the Welsh language school Ysgol\u00a0<\/span>Plasmawr<\/span>\u00a0in Cardiff.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201c<\/span>As a family we are beyond devastated. We cannot begin to describe how painful it is to have your loved one taken from you by this cruel mental health illness which Elin had to battle with for over 25 years,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span>Mrs<\/span>\u00a0Boyle\u2019s family.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nMrs<\/span>\u00a0Boyle had previously gone missing in November 2018 and her family thanked police for their support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\nThey added: \u201c<\/span>We are truly grateful for the comments on social media from friends, colleagues and pupils both past and present.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201cShe really was one in a million and we only wish she could have seen the love for her pouring in.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\n“She had a gift of making others feel better and happy and would go above and beyond to help others.
\n\u201c<\/span>Our only consolation is that she is now at peace.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
