Death Toll From New Zealand Volcano Eruption Rises to 19

VOA News

   An American tourist burned in a volcanic explosion on New Zealand's
   White Island has died, raising the death toll to 19.

   Mayuri Singh died Sunday night at Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, her
   family told ABC News. Her husband, Pratap Singh, remains hospitalized.

   There were 47 people on White Island when the volcano erupted Dec. 9,
   killing 13 people initially and leaving more than two dozen others
   hospitalized with severe burns.

   The bodies of two victims have not been recovered and authorities say
   they were likely washed out to sea and may never be found.
