The bodies of two men and two women have been recovered following a small plane crash just off Florida's Gulf Coast, police said Thursday.
The plane had just taken off from Venice Airport when it crashed into the Gulf of Mexico west of the city's fishing pier just after 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Venice police said in a news conference.
Leisenring said police "were unable to deploy a dive team until we had daylight." The plane -- a Piper PA-32R -- was spotted just before noon under about 23 feet of water, he said. Crews also found the bodies of the two female passengers.
