BBC reported that rescuers have found the bodies of all four people on board a small plane which crashed into an active Philippines volcano last week.
Authorities on Thursday confirmed the deaths of the two Filipino pilots and two Australian passengers. Search teams had scoured the slopes of the Mayan volcano since Sunday, when the aircraft wreckage was spotted about 300m (985ft) from the crater. Teams now faced the challenge of safely retrieving the bodies, officials said.
Local Filipino authorities say they will investigate the cause of the plane’s crash. The Cessna 340 aircraft went missing on Saturday shortly after departing for Manila from a local airport several kilometres from Mayon.
