The U.S. Coast Guard has officially suspended the search for a missing medical transport aircraft that disappeared off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The air ambulance was carrying six individuals, including four Canadians, when it went missing while en route from Bermuda to Boston. The U.S. Coast Guard has since identified all occupants of the aircraft, which included a pilot from Oakville, Ontario, a nurse from Niagara, and a mother and son from Bermuda.
