Investigations are ongoing into a light plane crash in Florida that killed at least two members of an Australian family.

Christian Kath is presumed dead, and the bodies of his wife and daughter have been recovered.

It’s believed the aircraft was 40 metres above the ground when it vanished from radar.

A friend of the family Caleb McGuire, told Ben Fordham the family is survived by a second daughter, Harper, aged 10, who was not on the flight and it’s been an extremely tough time.

“They had plans to come home for Christmas this year … he wanted to bring his kids up as Australians.”
