NSTworld: Police said they could not retrieve the remains of two more people, but spotted at least one body in the waters not too far from the island shoreline.
Waters around the island were contaminated by the massive eruption of rocks, lava and chemicals on Monday, reducing visibility.
Police said they could not retrieve the remains of two more people, but spotted at least one body in the waters not too far from the island shoreline. “Today’s planning will allow us to return to the island to conduct further land-based searches for the remaining deceased, as the environment on and around the island allows,” police said. “There will be no return to the island today.”
The death toll rose to 15 on Saturday as one more person died in the hospital. The toll may rise further as more than two dozen people are still hospitalised across New Zealand and Australia, most with severe burn injuries.
