A search vessel contracted by the Egyptian government has recovered all mapped human remains under water at the crash site of EgyptAir flight MS804 in the Mediterranean.
Egypt's aircraft accident investigation committee provided this update on Sunday, Reuters reported.
The John Lethbridge, belonging to Mauritius-based Deep Ocean Search, headed to Alexandria port to hand over the remains to coroners and prosecution officials, the committee said in a statement.
It will return to the crash site to make further checks for any possible remains there, the statement said.
The Airbus A320 went down en route from Paris to Cairo on May 19. All 66 people (59 passengers and 10 crew) on board were killed and the cause of the crash remains unknown; investigators are analysing one of the black box flight recorders currently.
Debris from the jet was brought to Cairo airport last week, where investigators will try to reassemble part of the frame to help establish what might have caused the disaster.
The Paris prosecutor's office opened a manslaughter investigation on Monday but said it was not looking into terrorism as a possible cause of the crash at this stage.
