Bermudian mother and son identified among victims of Ontario air ambulance crash off Massachusetts coast
The Globe and Mail reports that the two individuals aboard an Ontario-based air ambulance that crashed off the Massachusetts coast have been identified as Marilyn Lavonne Bean, 66, and Sergio Wayne Lottimore, 41, both Bermudian nationals. The Gulfstream G100 aircraft, operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, disappeared from radar around 1 a.m. Saturday while en route from Bermuda's L.F. Wade International Airport to Boston. Search efforts spanning over 7,081 square kilometers found a debris field near Nantucket Island but no survivors. The U.S. Coast Guard suspended search operations Sunday after two days of searching. Latitude Air Ambulance, the Ontario-based company, confirmed all six people on board are presumed dead, including four crew members. The company expressed deep grief over the loss of their staff who were dedicated to providing critical care during difficult life moments. The aircraft reportedly experienced electrical issues and declared an emergency as it approached the Massachusetts coast during a storm. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Canada's Transport Safety Board are jointly investigating the crash, with more information expected soon as the appropriate investigative jurisdiction is determined. The search for the victims remains ongoing, though it is unclear if or when it will resume. The Coast Guard in Boston did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Bermuda police confirmed the investigation is being conducted by U.S. and Canadian safety boards. The Canadian-registered jet had departed Bermuda on a nighttime flight, with air traffic audio indicating the plane may have been 'coming in blind' as a storm approached. The tragedy has left the company and families grieving, with the focus now on supporting the victims' families and cooperating with authorities.
