Do some NG5s have ballistic recovery chutes?

[making no comment about specific incident] but I think in flight structural failure normally leaves a widespread debris trail, more closely laid major structure that is fairly well intact is more likely to be a high vertical deacceleration

I think the tail was cut off by the emergency services

From what can be seen of the front, it looks remarkably intact for a fatality.

deepest sympathies to the bereaved.
