There were some questions about the status of the identification process.

Official status on 23nov2018 was 90 male and 35 female for a total of 125.

Unofficial - based on both official and public data - not possible to completely verify this yet - includes 3 of 5 cabin crew, the 1 mechanic, 1 pilot (Capt). There have been at least 2 people identified from seat-rows 2-34, but zero from row14, from row13 only 1 person. If you look at the present status that I have, the least number of identifications are from rows 2-14 the CDEF seats.

Note1: I dont know the exact Lion Air cabin layout. Thought the seating total was 189, which requires 31.5 rows of seat. Rows 2-34 are mentioned in the passenger manifest/list. If row 13 and 14 are not used, we have 31 rows if 2-34 are used.
Note2: If you would only have this information (not going into detail here) you would estimate that you are dealing with a - very high speed, steep angle, banked right (or left if inverted) - impact. We will probably know by 30nov2018 if that estimate points in the right direction.
