Taipei, Rabi'II 17, 1436, Feb 6, 2015, SPA -- Four more bodies were found in Taipei early Friday as rescuers expanded their search of a river where a commercial passenger plane crashed this week, local media reported. According to dpa, TransAsia Airways flight GE235 left Taipei's Songshan Airport on Wednesday morning with 53 passengers and five crew members on board but hurtled into a river soon after take-off. Two of the bodies were found about 100 metres downstream from the main crash site. The total number of dead stands at 35, after the Civil Aeronautics Administration confirmed earlier Friday that 31 people had been killed. State-run Central News Agency had reported Thursday that the death toll was 32, but later amended its figures. Fifteen people remain in hospital, with the remaining victims still missing. --SPA 13:44 LOCAL TIME 10:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
