Reports say the plane lost all communication with a control tower as it flew near Barra del Parismina in the Caribbean Sea - and now the Costa Rican Coast Guard says they have found several pieces of what they believe to be the wreckage, including at least 2 bodies.

The identities of the two corpses have yet to be officially announced, but some reports indicate that Costa Rican officials claim Schaller among 6 people (pilot included) who are presumed dead at this point. A search is still underway to find the others... some personal effects, such as luggage, have however been recovered at sea.
