It says that people involved in the retrieval of the bodies, said the remains are being found mutilated and without any piece of clothes.
Bodies were found this way in the Comet disasters...

At first assumed the decompression or fall from 30,000 + feet was the reason. Subsequently it was established that the lack of clothes was caused by lapping waves that effectively (and surprisingly), stripped them...

It was also established that in an explosive decompression the majority suffered skull fractures (within 0.2 seconds), but that severe injuries to limbs was a result of impact with the sea.

Nothing was ignored in Sir Arnold Hall's comprehensive RAE Farnborough investigation into those (first jet airliner) disasters and it was ALL published for the world to see.
