A body has been recovered from the plane carrying the Argentine soccer striker Emiliano Sala, which crashed into the English Channel last month, the British authorities said late Wednesday.
The British Air Accidents Investigation Branch did not specify whether the body was that of Mr. Sala or the pilot, David Ibbotson, the only other person who was on the small plane.
“In challenging conditions, the A.A.I.B. and its specialist contractors successfully recovered the body previously seen amidst the wreckage,” the investigators said in a statement. The body was being taken to the coroner of the county of Dorset, the statement said.
