A US national from Atlanta has been named as the 17th confirmed fatality in the White Island volcanic eruption disaster, as the search for two remaining missing people is called off.

US citizen Mary Singh died in hospital after succumbing to her injuries

She suffered burns on 70% of her body.

Her husband is still in hospital receiving treatment.

Authorities have added two further people to the official death toll even though their bodies have not been found.

Police fear 40-year-old tour guide Hayden Marshall-Inman and 17-year-old Australian tourist Winona Langford may never be found.

They have now indefinitely suspended the search after two weeks of ‘extensive shoreline and substantial aerial searches’ of the area, said police superintendent Andy McGregor.
