The Department of National Defence says two Royal Canadian Air Force members who had been missing since a Chinook helicopter crashed in eastern Ontario have been found dead.
The pair was found late Tuesday evening after an extensive search of the Ottawa River near Petawawa, Ont., which is about 160 kilometres northwest of Ottawa.
Four people were on board the helicopter when it crashed just after midnight Tuesday during a training exercise.
Officials said Wednesday the group was carrying out a normal training event intended to train first officer pilots, and there were twopilots and two air crew members on board.
The Armed Forces said it is not releasing the names of the members who were killed out of respect for their families’ wishes….
