Pilot's Suspected Remains Found 5 km from Crash Site

According to MNC News broadcasting from Jakarta, the pilot's body with "parachute strings" was found at Curug Nangka (as small waterfall on the Ciomas, Bogor - NORTH side of the mountain!!!) Can someone explain about the Sukhoi's safety systems? Is there a facility for pilot emergency ejection??? Why would a passenger aircraft's pilot be equipped with a parachute otherwise? Why would the pilot's body be intact enough to identify some 5 km from the crash site? Of course, knowing what most soldiers are like in Indonesia and especially the rough, unprofessional Kopassus, they may have misidentified something here but they certainly couldn't have made a mistake identifying a BULE (that's a whitey) in a pilot's flight suit.

Thanks
