PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) — The Coast Guard says it has recovered human remains among the debris of a small plane that had five people on board when it crashed off Florida's Gulf Coast.
A Coast Guard spokesman says the remains were found by the Cutter Alligator as it searched overnight through the two-mile debris field of the twin-engine Cessna, which was on its way to Tampa. It was unclear how many people the remains belong to.
The plane was flying from McKinney, Texas, when it went down Wednesday afternoon about 20 miles west of Port Richey. The Federal Aviation Administration says air traffic controllers lost radio and radar contact with the plane after it reported turbulence at 1:52 p.m.
A statement from Quality Powder Coating LP said two employees and members of their families were on board.
