ATTENTION....A/C Down In The Torres Straits...Any Info

Just wondering if anyone has heard of the rumour that an aircraft went down in the Torres Straits today.
Heard through the usual sources and wanted confirmation and details. Did everyone walk away safely? Any news?
Thanks in advance...

Remember Yam well. If Murray Is, then cliff edge may mean PA31 would be buried there. Yam. Not the first a/c to dig it's heels there. Thought it was the 'Dry Season' now in the Straits?
