According to Globo TV News, Voepass subsequently verified that the death toll was really 62 rather than 61 when it was determined that no survivors had been located.
This was because a “technical issue” had prevented Constantino Thé Maia, the 58th passenger, from being included on the manifest.
Officials anticipated removing all of the remains from the accident scene by the end of the day on Saturday, with around 30 dead retrieved by lunchtime.
Legal Medical Institute was notified and their bodies were sent there for official identification.
After taking off from Cascavel at 11.56AM local time on Friday, bound for Sao Paulo, the reason for the disaster is still a mystery.
