Emiliano Sala search: Body recovered from plane but investigators cannot say whether it is the footballer or his pilot
The Piper Malibu plane carrying the Argentine was found by a privately-funded search crew on Sunday after it disappeared from radar over the English Channel on January 21
Investigators recovered a body on Wednesday from the wreckage of an aircraft that crashed into the English Channel with footballer Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson on board. Reports state that nearly two weeks after the aircraft's disappearance, the plane's wreckage and a body inside it was spotted this week. The body has reportedly been transported off the coast of Dorset.
The Piper Malibu plane was found by a privately-funded search crew on Sunday after it disappeared from radar over the English Channel on January 21. The plane was carrying the 28-year-old Argentinian football star from Nantes in France to Cardiff after his £15m move to Cardiff City and was being piloted by 59-year-old David Ibbotson.
