2 medical crew, pilot die in helicopter crash

Three people on board a medical helicopter that crashed between Gainesville and Jacksonville, Fla., were killed, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said Monday.

The pilot and two medical staff from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville were en route to pick up a heart for transplant.

The hospital later identified its employees as cardiac surgeon Luis Bonilla and procurement technician David Hines.

"A helicopter with two Mayo Clinic employees sent to University of Florida in Gainesville to harvest organs left this morning approximately 5:45 a.m. but did not arrive," the Mayo Clinic said in a statement before the deaths were confirmed.
