All 10 onboard were presumed dead. Rescuers were able to see three bodies inside the wreckage, the U.S. Coast Guard in Alaska said in a post on X. The remaining seven people were believed to be inside the aircraft but couldn't immediately be reached because of the condition of the plane. Officials haven't released the names of those on board but have said all were adults.
The aircraft was found on ocean ice, a Coast Guard spokesman said.
The single-engine plane operated by regional carrier Bering Air had nine passengers and a pilot on board when its position was lost at around 3:20 p.m. local time Thursday, according to the Alaska Department of Public Safety.
