2 dead in plane crash identified as Kentucky couple By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The National Transportation Safety Board who is now in charge of the investigation were on the scene Thursday and Friday gathering evidence from the Sept 25 plane crash that took the lives of a Kentucky couple. No black box was found, but enough material was found to complete an investigation said NTSB

Spokesman Keith Holloway. “Unfortunately, our investigators deal with this kind of situation often. The fortunate aspect is that they are experienced and knowledgeable in aircraft accident investigation and what may seem like a minimal amount of information to the general public can provide much information to them,” said Holloway. Holloway reports investigators

have not confirmed whether or not the plane was coming in too fast or not. “This is part of the many things we will be looking at during this investigation,” said Holloway. “It is possible we may have a preliminary report in the coming weeks. However, it can typically take about 12 to 18 months before a probable cause is determined.” The two killed in Sept. 25

plane crash at Lily Cache and Weber Road were a husband and wife team from Georgetown, Kentucky who were headed to a medical conference in Chicago. The pilot, Dr. Naranyah Venguswamy, 63, died of severe burns this morning at 5:45 a.m. after being airlifted to Loyola Medical Center. His wife, the only passenger died at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital at 6:45 p.m. Sept. 25.

Dr. Vengu, as he was known, worked at the Georgetown Community Hospital, for the past 27 years and his wife worked with him at the office of his practice. “He was an extraordinary surgeon who was an integral part of our medical staff and well respected by all,” said Cindy Wesley of the Georgetown Community Hospital. “Jay was here all the time and she was such a sweet lady.”
