Emiliano Sala: Brother says death still hard to believe
Footballer Emiliano Sala died instantly from "head and trunk injuries" when the plane he was in crashed after breaking up mid-air, a jury has found.
His brother Dario Sala said he still could not believe Emiliano had died in the crash, which killed the 28-year-old and pilot David Ibbotson in January 2019.
The footballer had been flying to Wales from France to join Cardiff City when the plane crashed as it broke up in mid-air across the English Channel.
On Thursday, an inquest jury concluded that prior to the crash Sala had been overcome by toxic levels of carbon monoxide from the aircraft's faulty exhaust system during the unlicensed commercial flight.
