Yeah, as usual, different newspaper reporters say ever so slightly different things like if it was all the same.
The all say the tail hit the ground first.
Some say the tail broke/detached itself from the rest of the plane.
Some say the back part of the tail broke/detached itself from the rest.
I think it's safe to assume it was the tail cone, but then again, the whole tail is one of the larger pieces found "intact" and slightly away from the rest of the plane, but this could've happened later.
A second survivor was discharged (the female doctor). 16 remain hospitalised. 1 has gotten worse. 1 is not believed to be able to recover from the coma. 1 remains very serious condition.
