“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the single occupant, an adult male, of the crashed plane was found deceased on scene,” the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said in a tweet Sunday. “Our thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.”
The victim was Lelon Lewis, 66. He was the only person aboard a Magnus Fusion 212 when it crashed about 20 miles south of Conifer, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Tony Molinaro. He had no other details about the plane’s origin or destination.
