Officials have identified a body found weeks after a plane crashed in Ocean City. 

The crash happened on March 1, around 10:15 in the morning. Officials noticed a plane that was en route to Ocean City the night before had not landed. An investigation showed that two people were on the plane which was found in the ocean only 1.5 miles away from the Ocean City Airport.
