Body recovered

-

Authoritie­s have recovered a body from the seabed wreckage of a plane that was carrying football player Emiliano Sala and his pilot. However, British air accident investigat­ors have yet to say whether the body was that of Sala, who had just signed with Premier League club Cardiff, or pilot David Ibbotson. They were the only two people onboard the small aircraft that disappeare­d from radar over the English Channel last month. The British Air Accident Investigat­ion Branch says the body was recovered in “challengin­g conditions” with the “operation was carried out in as dignified a way as possible and the families were kept informed of progress.”
