AlHijjah 07, 1435, October 01, 2014, SPA -- Ten bodies were found near the peak of a volcano in central Japan Wednesday four days after its deadly eruption, a news report said, according to dpa. The latest find could bring the death toll from the weekend eruption to 46, the highest from a single eruption in the country since detailed records began after World War II, the Kyodo News agency reported. So far 18 people have been confirmed dead since Mount Ontake, a popular trekking destination, erupted on Saturday, according to the Nagano prefectural police. Under Japanese procedure, only fatalities confirmed after inspection by medical authorities count towards official death tolls.
