SEATTLE — Officials on Friday confirmed the identities of the seven people whose bodies have been recovered after last month’s floatplane crash off Whidbey Island, including the remains that washed ashore nearly two weeks after the crash.
The remains that washed ashore at Dungeness Spit were identified this week as Patricia Hicks, according to the Clallam County Coroner’s Office. Family members were notified Thursday, Deputy Coroner Nathan Millett said.
Island County Emergency Management said the bodies of pilot Jason Winters, Sandra Williams, Ross Mickel, Luke Ludwig and Rebecca Ludwig have been found and identified. A seventh victim, Gabby Hanna, was found shortly after the crash in Mutiny Bay.
