How did Christian Kath’s Family From Gympie Die?
A family from Queensland has been declared dead in a plane crash in the US, as prospects of finding their pilot father alive dwindle. According to the Venice Police Department in Florida, the family’s rented jet crashed into the Gulf on Saturday, killing Christian Kath, 42, of Gympie, his wife Misty Kath, and their daughter Lily. Harper, a second daughter who was not on the aircraft, is still living with the family. The deaths of the couple’s daughter have been discovered, while Mr Kath remains missing. Investigators believe the family rented the plane, which crashed shortly after takeoff.
Ms Kath’s Body Was Found:
According to Venice Police Chief Charles Thorpe, Ms Kath’s body was discovered in the Gulf, and the tragedy was first reported to authorities. The Federal Aviation Administration then contacted the police to note that a hired plane had not returned, sparking a search for the missing plane. According to Chief Thorpe, no mayday call was issued before the collision. The daughter’s body was discovered on Sunday afternoon after a single-engine Piper Cherokee was uncovered. Police and other search and rescue vessels are still hunting for Mr Kath in a 13 KM area south.
