Body found amid Sala plane wreckage as search continues

A body has been seen in the wreckage of the plane that was carrying footballer Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson.

That's according to the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), which said it would hand the details to the police and families of Sala and Ibbotson.

The wreckage of the plane was found almost two weeks after it went missing after a privately-funded search began.

The Argentine striker had recently signed with English Premier League club Cardiff City for a reported £15 million.
