I’d like to know the details of the plane crash. Seems we should have a bunch of eye witness accounts and the pilots testimony. Why was Loretta left in the plane and everyone else gets out as if that was the cause of her death? It very well could be a tragic coincidence with her being subpoenaed. I’ve looked at about 5 or 6 articles and can’t find any real information and if no more is forthcoming then I think one should think the worst.

Her cause of death is not yet known. However, the seriously injured pilot succeeded in evacuating everyone from the aircraft and into the sea in their life vests. They tried to hold onto each other in the sea, but the sea was high and rough enough to produce whitecaps. It is remarkable the aircraft ditched without killing everyone outright in such rough seas. The roguh seas and stron currents quickly swept the groups of survivors apart. Yamamoto was reportedly holding onto Fuddy’s hands when she let go of her grip and did not respond when Yamamoto called out to her. The reason for this are not yet known. It is easy to speculate, however, that she sustained injureis which led to loss of conciousness in the water due to shock, hypothermia, or internal injuries. We’ll have to wait and see if more is known in the future. Her body was recovered by rescuers and was transported to a hospital, where an autopsy is to be performed to determine the cause of death.

Elsewhere I’ve posted a story about a large number of Cessna Caravan/Grand Caravan engine failures, including six in Hawaii since 1992. So, the possibility of an accident is certainly plausible. Of course, accidents are used for their plausible deniability in less innocent circumstances. In this instance, the aircraft mishap is typical for such Cessna engine failure mishaps, except for the death due to it occurring in an overwater flight.
