There's new information on the man who died in the plane that crashed into the rural front yard of an Ashtabula County, Ohio home on Sunday.


The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Alan Kettunen of Geneva was in the front of the Zenith 701 plane that hit a tree and crashed along State Route 307 in Harpersfield Township.


The 75 year-old was known for his aviation work. Erie News Now went to the Germack Airport in Geneva, where the small plane took off from, on Sunday.


It is also where Kettunen Aiation is located. A search of the company shows Alan Kettunen is listed as the President of the Business that specializes in aircraft maintenance and repair service.

Debris from the crash was removed Tuesday afternoon. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating a cause. A 59 year-old passenger and only other person in the plane, Jeffrey Roth, survived.

The Zenith 701 plane they were in is described as a kit-built aircraft.
