Fifth Body Recovered in Plane
Crash
The sky, the sea and William
Slattery are the only witness to
what happened on Tuesday when
the small Cessna airplane
crashed into the sea leaving
Slattery the only survivor of
six people on board.
Yesterday's find of the fifth
body, that of Jean Roman, on the
shores of Punta Mala, Esterillos,
authorities ended their search
and rescue efforts since pulling
Slattery out of the water on
Wednesday.
What is left now is for
investigators to put together
the pieces of what happened.
Aviación Civil investigators
believe bad weather may have
been the cause of the crash,
though are not discounting other
possible causes.
The Cessna 206, which went down
on Tuesday with six people on
board, was owned by Milt Burton,
a Canadian-born skydiver who had
worked as a Hollywood stuntman.
He died in the crash.
The bodies of Costa Rican pilot
Jorge Melendez; U.S. citizen
James Simplicio; and Emmanuel
Sanchez, a U.S. resident of
Mexican origin were all
recovered on Thursday and
Friday.
This week's crash is the second
crash of a small plane in less
than a week. A week ago Friday a
small Cessna crashed into a
mountain peak near Puriscal,
killing all three on board.
