Flight attendant's body in cockpit wreck

The body of a flight attendant has been recovered from the cockpit wreckage of the Cypriot airliner that crashed in Greece, boosting speculation that at least one cabin crew member tried to gain control moments before impact.

"An air hostess was found in the cockpit wreckage," a Greek army source told AFP.

Two F-16 jets that scrambled to intercept the incapacitated Helios Airways Boeing 737 saw two people wrestling with the controls as a co-pilot seen slumped and apparently lifeless in his seat.

"The pilots gave no clear picture of seeing an air hostess in the cockpit...they (only) saw the shapes of two people," the source said.

Meanwhile autopsies on six victims suggest they were alive but unconscious when the plane plunged out of control.

Senior Greek officials, though, believe many others on the plane had froze to death because of a failure of cabin pressure and lack of oxygen.

The plane smashed into a mountainside in Greece on a flight from Larnaca in Cyprus to Prague with a stop in Athens.

In a bid to solve the mystery of why the jet crashed, Cyprus police searched offices of Helios Airways, owner of the Boeing 737.

Bereaved relatives identified loved ones and emerged angry from an Athens morgue to demand action against Helios.

All six crew and 115 passengers died.

Adelaide-born Demos Xiourouppa, his Cypriot wife Margarita, 34, and their daughters Sophia, 10, and Ioanna, 9, were among the victims. Their two-year-old son, George, was with his grandparents in Cyprus.

The investigation's chief coroner said his first autopsies on six dead showed while they may have been unconscious and unaware of their doom, they were still medically alive when the plane went down.

"Until now I have done an autopsy on six bodies and first evidence is that when they were killed they had circulation in their heart and lungs," Greek Chief Coroner Philippos Koutsaftis told reporters in Athens.

"That does not mean that they were conscious but that they had breath and circulation. They had circulation and heartbeat so they were alive."

He said a final judgment on the victims' fate would have to await examination of more dead and toxicology reports.

Helios, Cyprus's first private carrier established in 1999, flies mainly holidaymakers to Athens, Greek islands, Dublin, Sofia, Warsaw, Prague, Strasbourg and several British airports using a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft.

The airline is owned by Libra Holidays Group, one of Britain's leading independent holiday tour operators.
