Authorities have released the name of the victim of Wednesday afternoon’s plane crash near Hartsville.

Jay Frederick, Bartholomew County Chief Deputy Coroner, says that the pilot, 77-year-old Ren Sagaert, of Shelby Township, MI, was declared dead at the scene by Bartholomew County Coroner Clayton Nolting. Frederick says that Sagaert was the only person in the plane, which crashed in the area of 20950 East County Road 200 North, just east of Anderson Falls. Investigators with the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department say that they believe that the plane was attempting to take off when it crashed.

Nolting’s office says that an autopsy has been scheduled to be performed by a forensic pathologist on Thursday.

The crash itself is being investigated by the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office, Indiana State Police and the Federal Aviation Administration.
