Paris - One of the victims of Monday's Air France crash into the Atlantic was found Saturday still buckled to his seat, the news channel BFM TV reported.

The male passenger, whose boarding card was found on the body, was one of two male bodies retrieved from the sea early Saturday, according to Brazilian Air Force spokesman Jorge Amaral.

In addition, a leather case was found with a plane ticket inside, the number of which corresponded to a passenger on the flight, Amaral said.

Air France flight AF 447 disappeared en-route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on Monday with 228 people on board.

Oxygen masks and a seat bearing the serial number 237011038331-0 were also plucked out of the sea Saturday. However, Air France must still confirm that the seat actually came from the lost Airbus A330- 200 aircraft.

The bodies and the debris were taken to the Brazilian island of Fernado de Noronha.(dpa)
