Has the body of Irene Poilane been recovered from the sea?

Hello scout2

Thanks for your question.

After the initial reports of the crash, it seems that most newspapers
lost interest. But 'Le Monde' carried a report yesterday of the
unsuccessful police search for Irena Poilane's body.

"DISPARITION : les recherches pour retrouver le corps d'Iréna Poilâne
sont restées vaines.
Les recherches menées par la gendarmerie, dimanche 3 novembre, afin de
retrouver le corps d'Iréna Poilâne, épouse du boulanger Lionel
Poilâne, sont restées vaines. Le corps de son mari, 57 ans, a été
retrouvé le 1er novembre, dans l'épave de l'hélicoptère du couple qui
s'était abîmé la veille au large de Cancale (Ille-et-Vilaine)."

Le Monde 5 Novembre 2002

As you can see from the article, the area was searched on Sunday
November 3rd., but in vain. The key sentence means: 'The searches
carried out by the gendarmerie on Sunday November 3rd to retrieve the
Body of Irena Poilane, spouse of baker Lionel Poilane, were
unsuccessful.'

If you would like to see the (short) article yourself, go to the Le
Monde website at:

Le Monde
http://www.lemonde.fr/

Then enter 'Poilane' in the box next to 'rechercher un article' and
select 'depuis 7 jours' from the drop-down menu next to it. Click on
'OK' and you will find the most recent article is 4th in the list of
results.

I found nothing about this in the online versions of 'Paris-Soir' or
'Le Figaro'.

So no recovery, I'm afraid. 

Please feel free to request clarification if anything needs
explanation.
