===Hokkaido finds=== Eight days after the shoot-down, human remains and other types of objects appeared on the north shore of [[Hokkaido]], Japan. Hokkaido is about {{convert|30|mi|km}} below the southern tip of Sakhalin across the [[La Pérouse Strait]] (the southern tip of Sakhalin is {{convert|35|mi|km}} from [[Moneron Island]] which is west of Sakhalin). The ICAO concluded that these bodies, body parts, and objects were carried from Soviet waters to the shores of Hokkaido by the southerly current west of Sakhalin Island. All currents of the [[Strait of Tartary]] relevant to Moneron Island flow to the north, except this southerly current between Moneron Island and Sakhalin Island.<ref>Kantakov and Shevchenko, ''In situ observations of Tsushima and West Sakhalin currents near La Perouse (Soya) Strait''</ref> These human remains, including body parts, tissues, and two partial torsos, totaled 13. All were unidentifiable, but one partial torso was that of a Caucasian woman as indicated by auburn hair on a partial skull, and one partial body was of an Asian child (with glass embedded). There was no luggage recovered. Of the non-human remains that the Japanese recovered were various items including dentures, newspapers, seats, books, eight KAL paper cups, shoes, sandals, sneakers, a camera case, a "please fasten seat belt" sign, an oxygen mask, a handbag, a bottle of dishwashing fluid, several blouses, an identity card belonging to 25-year-old passenger Mary Jane Hendrie of [[Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario|Sault Ste. Marie]], Ontario, Canada, and the business cards of passengers Kathy Brown-Spier and Mason Chang.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1983/09/12/Japanese-authorities-today-recovered-the-mutilated-body-of-a/5125432187200/ |title=Japanese authorities today recovered the mutilated body of a... |last=Kamiya |first=Antonio |date=September 12, 1983 |newspaper=United Press International |access-date=September 13, 2021}}</ref><ref name="Pearson-235">Pearson, p. 235</ref> These items generally came from the [[Aircraft cabin|passenger cabin]] of the aircraft. None of the items found generally came from the cargo hold of the plane, such as suitcases, packing boxes, industrial machinery, instruments, and sports equipment.
