The bodies were found along with floating debris in the Java Sea, off the Indonesian port of Borneo, according to the BBC.

Whilst wreckage has not been found yet, officials say some has been spotted beneath the bodies and debris and that there was a 95% certainty they come from the missing plane.

The search continues, and at this rate the rest of the bodies and the plane’s wreckage should be found soon.

There were 155 passengers on board, comprising 138 adults, 16 children, and one infant: as well as 7 crew members.
