Body parts from all 150 victims identified

Investigators say they have identified body parts from all 150 people aboard the Germanwings flight which crashed in the French Alps last week.

French investigators have identified body parts from all 150 people aboard the Germanwings flight that crashed more than a week ago.

Investigators have found and studied 2,854 body parts, Marseille Prosecutor Brice Robin said on Thursday.

But he said it will still take a long time for investigators to match the body parts with DNA samples from families of the victims.

Robin said 40 mobile phones had been found at that crash site in a "very, very damaged" condition, without referring to the reports by Paris Match and Bild that footage of the final moments of the crash had been recovered.
