(Picture: Josh Neuman)An American skateboarder was one of four men killed when a sightseeing plane crashed into a lake in Iceland, authorities said.
Skateboarder Josh Neuman, 22, was on the plane to create commercial content for the Belgian fashion brand Suspicious Antwerp.
Wreckage of the plane was found in Iceland’s second largest lake, Lake Thingvallavatn, about 30 miles east of the capital Reykjavik.
The company’s sponsorship manager Tim Alings, 27, and skydiver and social media influencer Nicola Bellavia, 32, from Belgium, were also on the flight.
The Cessna 172 plane was flown by one of Iceland’s most prominent pilot Haraldur Diego, 49.
It disappeared from radar on Thursday.
More than 1,000 members of Iceland’s Search and Rescue organisation were involved in the huge hunt for the plane.
Neuman was known for his skateboarding YouTube videos and he had almost 1.2 million subscribers.
A statement on the Suspicious Antwerp’s website said: “The plane that has been missing since 3 February in Iceland, has been found.
“It is with tremendous sadness that we are to report that the occupants consisted of a Suspicious Antwerp employee, two content creators, and an Icelandic pilot.
“We are enormously distressed by the news and our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends. We are in close contact with them, as well as with the authorities, and we’re doing everything we can to assist them during these difficult times.”
