The last two victims of the recent CESSNA crash in Dominica were recovered today by government teams, as announced by the Martinique prefecture on February 12.
Their remains will undergo forensic examinations before being returned to their families.
The French gendarmerie, dispatched from Chamonix, is assisting Dominican officials with the challenging recovery due to the aircraft’s precarious position on a mountainside
Initial recovery efforts on January 28 yielded two other bodies, aided by a civil security helicopter.
The plane, which took off from Charles-Douglas Airport on January 26, crashed into a cliff in La Plaine.
An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the tragedy, which claimed the lives of all four passengers from Martinique: Captain Jean-Benoit Agathe, co-pilot Marving Belizon, and passengers Kylian Besube and Marcelline Martinon, both 22 and 24 years old, respectively.
Sad times for the families. Wonder what caused him to crash into the cliff instead of going around or above???
