Florida officials ID victims of twin-engine plane crash

Authorities in Florida have identified the victims of a twin engine plane crash.

Palm Beach County Sheriff’s officials said in an email that 60-year-old Philip Castronova and 39-year-old Mandy Castronova died when the plane crashed and caught fire in a park in southern Palm Beach County on Sunday.

Sheriff’s officials are asking any witnesses of the plane crash to reach out to the NTSB, which is investigating the crash.

On Sunday Palm Beach County Fire Rescue spokesman Albert Borroto told reporters the plane was “engulfed in flames” when firefighters arrived on the scene.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane had departed from Key West. It was a Cessna C340.
