"West Virginia coal billionaire and philanthropist Chris Cline died in a helicopter crash near the Bahamas on Thursday,
Seven people are believed dead, the Royal Bahamas Police Force said in a statement Friday.
Police said a helicopter took off from Big Grand Cay around 2 a.m. Thursday and was reported missing around 2:50 p.m. when it didn't arrive in Fort Lauderdale, its intended destination.
Police officers and residents of Grand Cay discovered the aircraft overturned in 16 feet of water about two miles off Grand Cay in the Abacos and recovered the bodies of four females and three males, police said.
Cline's daughter was one of the people on the aircraft. "
Unfortunately, the pilot was the guy in the hangar next door to me at North County airport, in Jupiter, FL. He was a super nice guy and had a great little business at the airport. While I was not close friends with him, we would talk when we saw each other at the airport. He was quite a good pilot, instructor and businessman.
Very sad.
