egd, theoretically yes.

In Air India 182, they recovered 131 bodies of the 329 on-board. I do not know the radius of the area from which the bodies were recovered, but it may be in the accident investigation report.

From the post-mortems (on Wiki), eight of the recovered bodies had been ejected from the aircraft before it crashed. Other causes of death (at least contributory) included explosive decompression (those sitting near windows), hypoxia, asphxia (one child and one infant), vertical force injury, and three who died by drowning.
