LA Times reporting that they have found a bone fragment so DNA testing should confirm one way or the other. Hopefully Steve died instantly in the crash.

It seems that the location is outside the area of the intensive search box. Although people have bemoaned the fact that Fossett set off without leaving details or a flight plan, surely that was part of the pleasure for him of just casually jumping in the aircraft and flying wherever he felt like in that beautiful wilderness area. He paid the price but surely we can all understand why he would do it. I certainly do when most of my flying here in England is constrained inside regulated airspace boxes
