Harrell was taken to Cayuga Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his injuries and was also pronounced dead. "This is a terrible and tragic situation," said Tompkins County Sheriff Osborne. "Our hearts go out to the friends and family of the victims." Deputies described the plane, a 1977 Lake model LA-4-200, as a "small Cessna-style aircraft." An initial investigation found that the plane cleared for takeoff from the Ithaca Airport at 11:24 a.m. and last contacted the air traffic control tower at 12:02 p.m. No other people were hurt, and no structures were damaged, deputies said.
