Emergency crews have recovered the bodies of six people killed in a plane crash in Kananaskis Country.
The plane went down approximately five kilometers north of Kananaskis Village in a mountainous area on July 28 killing one pilot and five passengers on board.
Staff Sgt. Ryan Singleton of Canmore RCMP spoke with Media on Saturday, and said the plane left the Springbank Airport just before 9 p.m. Friday and was en route to Salmon Arm, BC for a church function.
The pilot and passengers inside the single-engine plane, a Piper PA32, were reported overdue at approximately 1 a.m. on Saturday. A search party was sent out and the crew honed in on the emergency locator transmitter to the site crash.
Two investigators from the Transportation safety Board of Canada are on the scene, and have taken over the investigation.
