The agency stated that it has already released 1 body to the family members. The IML first informs the relatives about the progress of the identification work.
By the end of Sunday afternoon, the IML had already taken in more than 40 families of victims at the Oscar Freire Institute, part of the USP (University of São Paulo) School of Medicine. The location is close to the central unit of the Forensic Medical Institute, which was closed to exclusively assist victims of the plane crash.
