The two occupants of a Cessna aircraft that went missing after departing Nakina on Tuesday have been confirmed deceased after search crews located the site of the plane crash.
THUNDER BAY – A days-long search for a small aircraft that went missing between Nakina and Fort Hope on Tuesday has ended in tragedy, after both occupants of the plane were found deceased on Saturday.
The crash site was spotted visually by volunteers with the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association flying in a Cessna Skymaster. The Transportation Safety Board is expected to launch an investigation into the cause of the incident. JRCC Trenton is operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Coast Guard and coordinates search and rescue responses over a wide swath of central and northern Canada.
CASARA has close to 30 members in Thunder Bay, with about half a dozen participating in the search effort. Others, including Tessier, joined from areas including the Niagara region.
