All of six people that were aboard the plane crash that took place on Quebec's North Shore Sunday have died, reported the Toronto Star. An Air Saguenay plane crashed in a wooded area on Sunday afternoon near the city of Les Bergeronnes, approximately 250 kilometers northeast of Quebec City.
Local authorities confirmed that all six bodies have been found and sent to the coroner's office.
The plane was on a sightseeing flight that was supposed to last just 20 minutes, reported BBC News.
"It was perfect conditions," said Jean Tremblay, vice-president of Air Saguenay. "At first glance, the weather conditions are not at all the cause, that is clear."
Tremblay offered his sympathies to family members and friends who lost loved ones in the crash.
The plane was heavily damaged and crashed into a rocky mountain.
"What we noticed at first sight is that there is not a horizontal trajectory that entered the trees," said Pierre Gavillet, an air branch investigator. "We have trees that are intact and we have a plane that is on the ground that crashed vertically, between the trees."
The Transportation Safety Board has sent a team of investigators to the scene of the crash to determine if there was any criminal activity involved in the incident, reported CBC News.
"They will examine the wreckage, they will collect data, they will take photos for the investigation, and then they will conduct interviews with witnesses and the company," said Justin Leroux from the Transportation Safety Board.
