French press conference going on right now...

Official now...

Captain was out of the cockpit and co-pilot starts a descent via autopilot.

Captain tries many times to call co-pilot by interphone and then by knocking on the door without any responses.

ATC calls aircraft without response. ATC even tries to tell pilot to select 7700 on transponder.

CVR picks up breathing from inside the cockpit, then loud banging on the door and then picks up EGWPS call out "TERRAIN, TERRAIN" and then initial impacts.
