Additional Human Remains Found at Plane Crash Site

Divers discovered more human remains in the Titicus Reservoir Friday, remains that are believed to be those of Val and Taew Horsa of South Salem, whose plane crashed in the lake on Nov. 19.

Some human remains were discovered last week and were turned over to the county medical examiner’s office. That department has yet to release official verification of the remains being the Horsas, though their son, Ridgefield resident Eric Horsa, has said he believes the remains are the couple.

The medical examiner may be able to verify those remains next week, possibly as early as Monday, writes The Journal News. The remains were found in the cockpit of the plane, and additional debris and plane pieces have been discovered in the North Salem reservoir.

The last large piece of the plane yet to be discovered is the engine, but divers believe they know where it may be located, according to Adam Bosch, spokesperson for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, the lead agency in the investigation.
