Human remains have been found after additional debris was discovered in the search for four missing military personnel who were onboard a helicopter that crashed on Friday night.
Australian Defence Force Chief of Joint Operations Lieutenant General Greg Bilton confirmed on Thursday that “unidentified human remains” were uncovered when an underwater vehicle located the cockpit of the MRH-90 Taipan helicopter.
“Yesterday afternoon, Wednesday the 2 August, HMO AES remotely operated an underwater vehicle which located a further debris field including parts of the cockpit of the helicopter,” Bilton said.
“Sadly I can confirm unidentified human remains have also been observed in this location by the remotely-operated underwater vehicle.”
