‘The footballer Emiliano Sala died of head and trunk injuries when the plane he was in crashed into the English Channel, an inquest has heard.

During a five-minute hearing at Bournemouth town hall in Dorset, it emerged that Sala was formally identified by a fingerprint expert.

The court was told that his body was recovered from international waters off the island of Guernsey.

Senior acting coroner Brendan Allen said that investigations were being carried out by the police, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) and the Civil Aviation Authority.

Allen said the AAIB inquiry was likely to take between six and 12 months and he adjourned the inquest until 6 November.’
