'Body Visible' in Wreckage of Emiliano Sala's Plane, Say Authorities

A body is visible in the wreckage of the plane that was carrying Cardiff City striker Emiliano Sala, according to the Air Accident Investigation Branch.

The light aircraft went missing over the English Channel two weeks ago.

It was carrying just Sala, who was on his way to his new club after signing from Nantes, and pilot David Ibbotson.

The wreckage was discovered Sunday on the seabed off Guernsey by a privately funded search party led by David Mearns in coordination with the AAIB:
