Devastating, but expected news. Family can have closure of the case. Hope so in case of pilot. Heartbreaking fact - the hearing of ES on the plane, he knew what was going to happen. Very touching, I can't imagine that.

Well as sad as it is the family can now mourn him and give him a final goodbye. I hope they are able to find Mr Ibbotson as well. The families need answers to this really sad tragedy.
