They found and fished them out at the beginning of the month. Simply incredible. I read a story (WSJ perhaps) how the evidence seems to not point to an in flight breakup but an attempted ditching judging from the dispersion of the wreckage and injuries to the bodies. There are also apparently quite a few bodies still with the weekend wearing clothes and such preserved due to the cold and depth. Eerie.
