The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search on Sunday for six people aboard a medical transport plane that lost contact with authorities around 2am Saturday while flying from Bermuda to Boston. A debris field was located near Nantucket, Massachusetts. The Coast Guard said evidence now points to the deaths of all aboard. Rear Adm. Matthew Lake, commander of the agency's northeast district, said “suspending a search is not an easy decision” and expressed condolences to families. The aircraft, a Gulfstream G100 operated by Canadian company Latitude Air Ambulance, carried a patient, a family member and a four-person crew. Search efforts reportedly covered 4,445 miles over 66 hours before being called off.
