SEQUIM, Wash. – Investigators are looking into whether a human torso that washed ashore in Clallam county Friday, September 16th, could be related to the deadly float plane crash off Whidbey Island earlier this month.
The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office reports that beachgoers found what’s thought to be a woman’s torso on the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge near Sequim.
The beach was quickly shut down for a search for any other remains but none were found.
Ten people died in the float plane crash on September 4th, but just one body has been recovered.
An effort to recover the plane from the bottom of Mutiny Bay is expected to begin next week.
