<p>A British chef was among those killed in the devastating New Zealand earthquake.</p>
<p>Gregory Tobin, 25, from Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, died when the quake tore apart Christchurch on South Island earlier this week.</p>
<p>Two Britons are among the 113 people now confirmed to have died in the catastrophic 6.3-magnitude tremor.</p>
<p>Mr Tobin, who attended Tadcaster Grammar School, had been on a round the world trip and was believed to have been working temporarily at a garage in Christchurch.</p>
<p>Friends left tributes to him on Facebook. One read: &#8220;Such a nice guy and at such a young age.&#8221; Another read: &#8220;Sad times &#8230; I can&#8217;t believe it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some 228 people are still missing and hopes of pulling anyone else out of the rubble alive have diminished.</p>
<p>But hundreds of rescuers from across the globe, including a 55-strong search and rescue team drawn from the British emergency fire and rescue services, continue to scour Christchurch&#8217;s shattered downtown district as the search for survivors continues.</p>
<p>Harrowing tales are continuing to emerge from the devastation.</p>
<p>In one incident, an Australian doctor visiting the city for a medical conference amputated a trapped man&#8217;s legs using only a hacksaw and a multi-purpose tool. The victim was not under a full general anaesthetic when his legs were amputated but he was heavily sedated. The doctor was too traumatised to talk about the amputation.</p>
<p>The Foreign Office is working with the local authorities, police and hospitals to get more information about the large number of British people living in the area.</p>
