Divers have found the body of a missing stunt pilot from the US whose plane crashed into a lake in northeast China while attempting a tricky manoeuvre in the rain, the head of the team searching for him said on Friday.

David Riggs, whose US pilot’s license had been suspended, had been missing since Tuesday’s accident outside the city of Shenyang in which his young female Chinese translator died. Riggs was in China to take part in an air show and was apparently rehearsing one of his tricks when the accident occurred.
