She added: “I have so many questions I want to be answered.
“We don’t want to talk about it to anybody at the moment because we’ve got no answers, we’ve only got questions.”
Asked if Tony, of Newcastle, was in Marbella for a holiday, she added: “I don’t know.
“I couldn’t even tell you that because he didn’t live at home, it’s all come as such a shock.”

Mr Gonzales – who ran a nearby gym – was reportedly enjoying drinks with his wife and friends when Tony landed on him, both men died instantly.
Tony’s daughter Chantelle said: “Dad I don’t even know what to say, no words can describe how I feel right now.
“But I’ll make sure my kids no all about you and how much you were loved by us and everyone around you.
“Rest easy and always remember how much I love you.”
His daughter Chloe said: “Never take anything for granted.
“You are a king and you will forever be my best friend and my absolute inspiration. I am so lost. I refuse to accept it.
“I know you’ve grown your wings now I just want to see you.
“Please be looking down because it’s time to make you proud now and trust me I’ll do that for you. Can’t believe I’m writing this.”
Niece Shauna Ruane Holmes added: “Words cannot express the sadness that comes along with your loss and no one could’ve prepared our family for such news!
“The pain everyone feels is surreal and hearing the weeps of our loved ones is heartbreaking. No son should ever pass before his parents and your children shouldn’t have to say goodbye so soon.
“You will forever be remembered for the funny, wild, and wonderful person you’ve always been! Always the atmosphere of every party and such an annoying wind up!
We express our sympathy and deepest condolences to Tony’s family today and in the days, weeks, months, and years that are to come as they cope with his passing. May his soul rest in peace.
