RALEIGH, N.C. (WRAL) - New information about the man who died before a plane made an emergency landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airport in 2022 indicates he jumped from the plane.
Whether that was intentional or not remains a mystery.
Although the other pilot in the plane that day – the pilot-in-command – reported that Charles Hew Crooks’ jump was intentional, the NTSB report says, “There was insufficient information to support that assertion.”
“It’s possible in his haste he lost his footing and inadvertently fell,” investigators wrote.
Crooks died on July 29, 2022. Questions surrounded his death for months after the plane he co-piloted landed without him on board. Crooks’ body was found in the backyard of a Fuquay-Varina home that same day.
