To date, none of the five crew or eight passengers have been found. Various disaster relief organizations assigned personnel to the disaster, with helicopters and warships searching from land, sea, and air. But, outside of several large pieces of the hull, most of the fuselage and all of the passengers were obliterated. This has led Hsinchu prosecutor He Ching-tung to suspect an explosion as the cause of this disaster.
各相關救難組織於事發後各派出人力、直升機和艦艇進行海陸空三度空間的搜尋，但是除了較大塊的機身殘骸之外，包括大部份的機身和所有乘客都嚴重支解成碎塊，新竹地檢署檢察官何景東因而懷疑，飛機似乎是因爆炸而失事。
