GLENVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - Relatives of a man killed along with his son and another man
when their small plane crashed in the Mohawk River say the father's
body has been recovered.
The relatives of 41-year-old George Kolath and his
11-year-old son George Jr. confirmed Monday that the two were
aboard the Piper aircraft when it crashed following takeoff from a
Schenectady County (skeh-NEHK'-ta-dee) airport around 2:20 p.m.
Sunday.
The plane sank in 30 feet of water in the town of Glenville
and was pulled from the river Monday morning.
The boy's body and that of a 52-year-old man were recovered
Sunday.
State police haven't provided any information. The Kolath
relatives, who wouldn't give their names, spoke outside their home
in nearby Rexford. They said police told them George Kolath's body
was recovered.
