ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17 – Missouri Gov. Mel Carnahan was killed Monday night when a small plane carrying him to a campaign event crashed in a heavily wooded area in rain and fog, according to state officials.
The governor's office said that the plane was believed to have been carrying Carnahan; his son Roger, known as Randy, who was the pilot; his senior campaign adviser Chris Sifford. "There were no survivors," said Jerry Nachtigal, the governor's press secretary. "We are certain it's the governor, his son, and Chris Sifford, his aide."
