ATHENS (Reuters) - The co-pilot of a Cyprus airliner was alive when the plane crashed, killing all 121 on board, the chief coroner of the investigation Philippos Koutsaftis said on Tuesday.
"All the autopsies on victims carried out so far, including on the co-pilot, showed they died of their injuries meaning they were alive when the plane crashed," Koutsaftis told reporters.
The Helios Airways Boeing 737 crashed into mountains near Athens on Sunday killing all 115 passengers and six crew on a flight from Larnaca to Prague with a stop in Athens.
