A woman and child were found dead after a plane crashed into the Gulf of Mexico just off the Florida coast. Authorities are still searching for a male pilot or passenger.
VENICE, Fla. — The bodies of two people, including a child, were found Sunday in the Gulf of Mexico inside the Venice Police confirmed the wreckage had been spotted about 2 p.m. from the air in the Gulf, about one-third of a mile directly west of the airport south of Tampa.
The plane was found a few hours after the Federal Aviation Administration called Venice Police to check with Venice Airport for an overdue airplane that had not returned Saturday night to the airport it had left in St. Petersburg. At about the time of the FAA inquiry Sunday, recreational boaters reported finding a deceased woman floating in the Gulf, approximately 2.5 miles west of Venice Beach, according to a police department news release.
Searchers from several agencies began looking for any potential people from plane and any wreckage. After the plane was found, divers from the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office located a deceased juvenile in the plane’s passenger area, the police release stated. Officials believe that a male pilot or passenger was also in the plane during the flight, but he had not been located with the wreckage late Sunday afternoon.
