An Indian-American businessman has become the latest victim of a massive volcanic eruption in New Zealand after he succumbed to his burns, over a month after his wife died in the same tragedy, leaving their three children orphaned.

Pratap Singh and his wife Mayuari were visiting the popular White Island in New Zealand when the volcano erupted on December 9. Mayuari died on December 22, Atlanta Journal-Constitution media reported.

Police in New Zealand on Wednesday confirmed that another victim died of his injuries in Middlemore Hospital.

Singh, also known as Paul, had suffered burns to more than half of his body and had remained in the hospital in Auckland, where he died this week, New Zealand Herald reported.
