Plane crash site
Search team will begin work on Monday to locate the small plane that crashed in Lake Erie with six people on board.
The team is prompted to resume the search following reports that debris of the plane has been washed ashore, Cleveland city officials stated.
The Cessna Citation 525 went down on Thursday night shortly after taking off from Burke Lakefront Airport north of downtown Cleveland.
The plane was carrying John Fleming, 46, president and chief executive of Ohio-based liquor distribution company Superior Beverage Group; his wife, Sue; their teenage sons Jack and Andrew; and two friends, company officials have stated.
The search for the plane will resume on Monday after darkness forced a halt to the operation late on Sunday, a spokesman for Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson stated in a statement.
Police are following up on multiple reports of debris washing ashore east of the airport, without it being verified as coming from the downed plane, the statement stated.
Police are also investigating the contents of a bag recovered on Sunday.
The Cessna had been bound for Ohio State University Airport and disappeared after flying about two miles (three km) over the lake, the United States Coast Guard has stated.
Jackson stated on Saturday that those aboard were presumed to have died. Officials have not stated what might have caused the plane to go down.
