Sad update,

Canwest Vancouver reports;

Sadly the wreckage was located in 11 metres of water, around 1AM by Coast Guard divers - with 6 bodies inside. The Beaver was difficult to locate in zero visibility and strong ocean currents.

The male pilot - said to be 'in a lot of pain', and a female passenger were rescued and transported to local hospital. A local man reached the crash site within 3 minutes, locating the two survivors, and reported the aircraft had already sank.
