Body parts found in Fossett plane wreckage

US government investigators say they have found body parts in the wreckage of missing adventurer Steve Fossett’s plane in the mountains of eastern California.

The National Transportation Safety Board said searchers found enough at the crash site of Mr Fossett’s plane to provide coroners with DNA.

The board’s acting chairman Mark Rosenker would not say exactly what searchers found. But he said it was not surprising how little they uncovered, considering how long it had been since the crash.

Mr Fossett was 63 when he vanished more than a year ago.
