Ex-Microsoft exec, son die in Connecticut crash

EAST HAVEN, CT -

A fire department official say four bodies have been pulled from the site of where a small plane crashed into two Connecticut homes.

Anthony Moscato of the East Haven Fire Department said Saturday that the bodies of two people from the plane and two people in one of the homes were recovered overnight. The deputy chief says authorities now believe those were the only victims.

Authorities previously said that two children in a home were missing. They were ages 1 and 13.

A family member identified two of the dead as former Microsoft executive Bill Henningsgaard and his teenage son, Maxwell, who were in the plane.

The multi-engine, propeller-driven plane struck two small homes a few blocks from Tweed New Haven Airport as it came in to land Friday.

Blair Henningsgaard says his brother Bill and nephew Maxwell were traveling the East Coast to visit colleges, and Connecticut was part of the itinerary.

He says the family learned it was his brother's plane through the tail number.

Bill Henningsgaard was a member of Seattle-based Social Venture Partners foundation, which extended its condolences to his wife and two daughters.
