Families provide DNA samples for identification; aircraft’s final moments under scrutiny.
Brazilian emergency crews on Saturday recovered the remains of the 62 victims aboard an airliner that plunged to the ground in the town of Vinhedo, near Sao Paulo the day before, killing all on board.
The bodies of most of the victims — 34 males and 28 females — had already been moved to Sao Paulo’s police morgue for identification. The bodies of the pilot and co-pilot were identified earlier in the day, said Dario Pacheco, mayor of Vinhedo.
Four people with dual citizenships were among the victims, three Venezuelans and one Portuguese woman, said regional carrier Voepass, which operated the aircraft.
The Venezuelans were a four-year-old boy, his mother and grandmother, local outlet Globo News reported. The boy’s dog was also on the flight, which the family was taking to later head to Colombia, according to the outlet.
