        GORE BAY, Ont.

It went down in dense bush near this Manitoulin Island community. When the rescuers arrived, they found Joyce Bogaerts, a former nurse whose husband was also killed in the crash.

However, the man died before the rescue team found the wreck. Police identified those killed as pilot Thomas Mulrooney, real estate developer John McKeena and Don Bogaerts, a provincial health department employee, all of Toronto, and Harold Burt, a Gore Bay councillor. Mr. Bogaerts formerly resided in Carleton Place. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Bogaerts, of Almonte.  Mrs. Bogaerts is the former Joyce Weedmark, daughter of Mrs. W. A. Weedmark and the late Mr. Weedmark of town.   Mrs. Bogaerts and Mrs. McKenna are both in satisfactory condition in St. Joseph‘s Hospital in nearby Little Current today. Both women suffered broken arms, cuts, and bruises.
