<p>The gruesome task of scouring the ash-covered White Island will continue as worried family members wait for painful phone calls that their loved ones’ bodies have been found.</p>
<p>Three Australians are assumed to be among six people that have been confirmed dead in the horrifying eruption off the coast of New Zealand on Monday just after 2pm.</p>
<p>The other three victims include White Island tour guide Hayden Marshall-Inman and a Malaysian national. The identity and origin of the sixth victim is not known.</p>
<p>What we do know is that there were 47 people on the island when ash spewed from a dormant crater. Of those, 24 were Australians who had been visiting the island.</p>
