The death toll rose to 20 on Thursday from a volcanic eruption on New Zealand’s White Island last month, as two people still missing were officially confirmed dead, APA reports citing Reuters.
The two individuals were Hayden Marshall-Inman of New Zealand and Winona Langford of Australia, police said.
“The chief coroner has ruled that both Winona and Hayden died on White Island,” John Tims, a deputy police commissioner, said in a statement.
From the official tally of 20 deaths, 18 people have died in New Zealand and two in hospitals in Australia.
