The Argentinean footballer died on January 21 when the light plane he was travelling in crashed into the English Channel as he was flying from France to the UK to complete a transfer from Nantes to Cardiff City.
Police also said that they will continue to investigate the "circumstances of this death."
Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said that bad weather meant they were unable to recover the plane and as a result it was closing down the operation.
As Sala’s family calls for plane wreckage to be brought up from under water, expert pilot says the plane crash may have been caused by the pilot suffering from 'spatial disorientation' — same phenomenon that caused Kennedy Jr plane crash in 1999.
Bodies of the Argentine footballer and his British pilot likely to be inside, says investigator
The Argentine striker, signed on Saturday from French club Nantes for a reported fee of 17 million euros (USD 19.3 million), was flying to Cardiff aboard the plane that disappeared from radars around 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of the island of Guernsey on Monday night.
