Plane body that of Sala

POLICE confirmed on Thursday that the body recovered from a plane in the English Channel was that of Argentine soccer player Emiliano Sala.

Dorset police made the announcement after a coroner’s examination of the body, which was recovered from the seabed wreckage of the plane on Wednesday.

Sala, who had just signed a contract to play with Premier League club Cardiff, and pilot David Ibbotson were the only people on board the small aircraft that disappeared over the English Channel last month.
