A retired Chicago police officer was alone in a small plane when it crashed into a Southern California house Sunday afternoon, leaving the pilot and four people in the home dead, officials said.
The pilot was identified as Antonio Pastini, 75, a retired Chicago police officer, Orange County Sheriff's Lt. Cory Martino said at a Monday news conference.
The coroner is still in the process of identifying the four people who died in the Yorba Linda home, Martino said, as their conditions require additional measures -- including DNA -- to reach official identifications.
