The French Navy has found another body from the Air France airliner that plunged into the Atlantic with 228 people aboard, a spokesman said here Sunday.

The body was spotted by a helicopter and recovered from waters about 1,200 km northeast of the Brazilian coastline by the frigate Ventose.

The announcement follows the discovery of two male bodies Saturday and three other victims earlier Sunday by Brazilian searchers.

The French navy spokesman provided no details about the identity or gender of the body.
