A Dorset Police spokesman said: “We are aware that a picture reported to be of Mr Sala’s body has been shared on social media channels and are disgusted that somebody did this.”He added: “It is clearly a very difficult time for Mr Sala’s family and they should not have to endure additional pain that this shameful act will undoubtedly cause.“We are investigating this incident and are working together with a number of agencies to establish how the picture was taken and who is responsible.” David Ibbotson, a 60-year-old father of three, was piloting the aircraft which went down over the Channel. He remains missing, despite a private search taking place after a crowdfunding campaign raised almost 250,000.Sala had joined Cardiff City from Nantes in a 15m transfer.“Cardiff City FC expresses its disgust and outrage at the individual/individuals who thoughtlessly took and shared the image,” a spokesperson for the Premier League club said.4
