Two passing thoughts....

- I can't imagine the sonar scans would have enough resolution to detect bodies inside the fuselage or cockpit, so one can presume they've already been taking photographs.
Edit : indeed the French news item linked in the previous post already shows vdeo and photos of some parts of the structure (landing gear in particular).

- 'Corps' (in french), same as 'body' (in english), can refer to an object, and not only to human remains. However, in the current context, I wouldn't think anybody would have been stupid enough to use corps/body in a press release, if human remains weren't meant.....
