Victim aboard MH17 was wearing an oxygen mask

Foreign minister of the netherlands Frans Timmermans has come under fire from some of the families of victims aboard the downed malaysian flight mh17, for revealing new evidence.

In a television interview he suggested not everybody died instantly when the plane was allegedly hit by a missile over Ukranian rebel held territory.

He noted one of the bodies was wearing an oxygen mask after impact - a detail some of the victims families said was not included in an initial report.

In a government statement, Timmermans apologized, and admitted he should not have made the statement. 

But our Europe correspondent Sandra Gathmann says prosecutors have been confirming Mr. Timmerman's account.
