Sala

[malagabob]

Bbc News. A body has Ben recovered. A body has been recovered from the crashed plane., and is being taken to the aisle of Portland to be handed over to the Dorset coroner. The identity has not been disclosed at this time.

[youngmafbog]

Yes.

[grumpy01]

Hopefully the rescue of the body from the sea bed will bring some comfort to which ever family he belongs.

[ladybirder]

At the very least they can give him a funeral but how dreadful for the other family - where is his body?

[youngmafbog]

In the briny, like many souls lost at sea. If it wasn't in the plane currents could take it anywhere all the time it is also being nibbled at and before long rotting so unlikely to ever be found.

[ladybirder]

Thank for spelling it out youngmaf. Nightmare.

[youngmafbog]

Sorry, I wasnt trying to be rude. Just practical. Lived by the sea all my life I know what it can be like.

It could be washed up anywhere. A body was washed across the Bristol Channel recently. Last seen in November, washed up in January. Although nobody knows when the person went into the sea, it was believed he had been in there some time.

[ladybirder]

youngmaff no need to apologise, I didn't think you were being rude. Just too much information you understand.

A retired officer I knew had a working motor vessel in Alderney where he lived.It was thought he fell out his tender in Braye harbour one evening whilst visiting his vessel on a swinging mooring.His body was washed up on Brighton beach a few weeks later. Not pretty.

The body has now been identified as Sala.

So - where's the pilot then? Did he jump ship?

[hereIam]

Poor young man.

[Peter Pedant]

has anyone any idea why the Darzet coroner was / is involved
Portland Bill is miles away from the crash site
and he isnt even the nearest coroner ( Guernsey is)

[DTCwordfan]

yes it is, hereIam - and the case of the missing pilot a wee bit strange. Also strange and rather sick is Nantes FC demanding their money from Cardiff even before Sala was identified, never mind buried. This will be an interesting legal case across borders in the sense the 'goods' never arrived - hope one of them has some insurance.....

[DTCwordfan]

I wondered that too PP......

[DTCwordfan]

because that's where the body was taken, apparently..... https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/17417484.dorset-coroner-confirms-body-as-that-of-cardiff-city-striker-emiliano-sala/

[Peter Pedant]

not a pretty sight
yeah it has to bloat ( think Maxwell who threw himself off the back of his boat somewhere) - yeah and Lizzie Hexham in Our Mutual Friend used to make her living hauling bodies out of the Thames

and as Sir Bernard Spilsbury used to say
if it done bloat - it wont float ....

[Peter Pedant]

// because that's where the body was taken, apparently.//
yeah but no but
we knew it was going to Portland before they made landfall
and it aint the nearest, either

( under the 'new' act 1988 - the coroner has the power to hold an inquest on any body whatsoever that is in his area - but Sala wasnt until yesterday)

[retrocop]

//has anyone any idea why the Darzet coroner was / is involved

According to yahoo news today the Acting Coroner opened the inquest in Bournemouth for no other apparent reason that the recovery vessel's captain decided to return to Portland. (May be Portland Naval base is the home port of that vessel)
I believe it belongs to the MOD.
