Authorities say four teenagers and four adults returning from a hunting trip were on board a small plane that crashed off the coast of North Carolina over the weekend.
The Carteret County Sheriff issued a news release Tuesday naming the passengers and pilot who were all North Carolina residents.
The group had been on a hunting trip in Hyde County and was returning to Carteret County.
Authorities said Monday that one body had been recovered by search crews that had been combing the area off the coast since the crash was reported Sunday.
The sheriff’s news release didn’t confirm any other deaths or say if other bodies had been recovered.
