The cause of the crash remains unknown. The cockpit voice recorder of the crashed EgyptAir flight MS804 indicates an attempt to put out a fire on board the jet before it plunged into the Mediterranean, sources on the investigation committee have said. Analysis of the plane’s flight data recorder showed that there had been smoke in the toilets and avionics bay. Investigators are to conduct further analysis on the voices contained in the recordings and have not yet ruled out any possibilities as to what caused the crash, the sources said. A Cairo forensic team has received the human remains and is carrying out DNA tests to identify the victims.
