Sixteen people were on board a military plane that crashed in Mississippi on Monday, and "most" of the bodies had been recovered, a local official said.
Leflore County Director of Emergency Management Fred Randle said in a brief phone interview with NBC News that the search for bodies would continue Tuesday.
Randle also said he had been told that all 16 people aboard the flight were believed dead and "most, but not all" of the bodies had been recovered.
Randle told reporters at a news conference earlier that the area around the crash site was unsafe due to the presence of fuel.
The FBI was on scene, along with a number of other state and local emergency first responders and investigators, he said.
Ray Coleman, a spokesman for the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, told NBC News that the aircraft was a C-130.
