Human remains found of EgyptAir MS804
EgyptAir flight MS804: 'Human remains, debris' found by Egyptian navy north of Alexandria UPDATED ABOUT AN HOUR AGO
Egypt's Civil Aviation Ministry has confirmed the Egyptian navy has found human remains believed to belong to those on board EgyptAir flight MS804 that crashed in the Mediterranean on its way from Paris.
Key points:
Civil Aviation Ministry confirms human remains found in Mediterranean Sea
Passengers' belongings also found
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has offered condolences to victims' families
Australian-UK dual national Richard Osman among those on board the flight "The Egyptian navy was able to retrieve more debris from the plane, some of the passengers' belongings, human remains, and plane seats," the ministry said in a statement.
"The search is ongoing."
Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos said earlier on Friday the Egyptian military had found body parts.
The navy is searching an area about 290 kilometres north of the port city of Alexandria, just south of where the signal from the plane was lost on Thursday.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi offered condolences for the 66 people on board, amounting to Egypt's official acknowledgement of their deaths, although there was still no explanation of why the Airbus had crashed.
There was no sign of the bulk of the wreckage or of a location signal from the "black box" flight recorders.
EgyptAir said its staff had met with the families of passengers to inform them of the latest developments and released this statement on Facebook:
"EgyptAir sincerely conveys its deepest sorrow to the families and friends of the passengers onboard Flight MS804," the post read.
"We extend our deepest sympathies to those affected and have engaged international emergency support group Kenyon to assist with care for those touched by this tragedy." (ABC.AU)
