Wreckage from a plane carrying Cardiff City footballer Emiliano Sala has been discovered in the English Channel.
The Piper Malibu N264DB was lost on 21 January on its way from Nantes, France to Cardiff, with the Argentine striker and pilot David Ibbotson on board.
David Mearns, who directed a privately-funded search operation on behalf of the Sala family, said the wreckage was located off Guernsey on Sunday morning.
The Air Accident Investigation Branch are at the site to recover the plane.
In a series of tweets, marine scientist Mr Mearns said: "The families of Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson have been notified by police."
He added: "Tonight our sole thoughts are with the families and friends of Emiliano and David."
Wreckage of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala and piloted by David Ibbotson was located early this morning by the FPV MORVEN. As agreed with the AAIB they moved the GEO OCEAN III over the position we provided them to visually identify the plane by ROV. #EmilianoSala
