Miami-Dade homicide detectives have opened an investigation into the case of a passenger who apparently fell to his death into a mangrove forest from the open rear door of a Piper Malibu last Thursday.
The pilot called for help, radioing “mayday, mayday, mayday” and telling air traffic controllers that a door was open and a passenger had fallen from his airplane. The Malibu then returned for a landing at Tamiami Executive Airport in South Florida.
