Footballer died when plane flown by David Ibbotson crashed into the sea close to Guernsey

The footballer Emiliano Sala died as a result of a plane crash, having been overcome by toxic levels of carbon monoxide from the aircraft's faulty exhaust system during an unlicensed commercial flight from France to Wales, an inquest jury has ruled.

Sala's family welcomed the jury's conclusion and said that they were pleased that the coroner Rachael Griffin expressed concerns about safety issues that arose during the inquest.
