Three more victims have been identified in the Bahamas helicopter crash that killed billionaire tycoon Chris Cline and his daughter.
Jillian Clark, Brittney Searson and Delaney Wykle were friends of the West Virginia coal magnate’s 22-year-old daughter, Kameron, and aboard the doomed flight, on which all seven passengers were killed early Thursday near Grand Cay, according to reports.
Clark, who was from Kenner, La., and Searson, who was from Palm Beach, Fla., recently graduated from Louisiana State University along with Cline’s daughter, NOLA.com and the Palm Beach Post reported. The trio was sorority sisters at the Baton Rouge college, where they were members of the Phi Mu chapter.
The pals were joined on the Fourth of July trip by Wykle, who attended West Virginia University, the Herald-Dispatch reported.
Tributes flooded social media Thursday to remember Wykle, a former high school cheerleader.
“She had the sweetest soul and had so much life ahead of her,” friend Skylar Simmons wrote on Facebook. “We love you and will never forget our time spent together sweet girl.”
The four pals were among the seven bodies reportedly recovered from the wreckage, which was located about two miles from Big Grand Cay.
The flight was headed to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., due to a sick passenger aboard — but the pilot “made no request or permission to go,” according to the Register-Herald.
Authorities said the chopper went down around 2 a.m. Thursday, but it wasn’t immediately clear what caused the crash.
The flight came a day before Cline’s 61st birthday.
The entrepreneur, who founded coal mining firm Foresight Energy, once dated Tiger Woods’ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, and was estimated to be worth $1.8 billion at the time of his death, according to Forbes.
