The dead man pulled from the water off Breezy Point in Queens late Wednesday after a small plane went down in the Atlantic Ocean was the only individual aboard the aircraft, the National Transportation Safety Board said at a news briefing Thursday.

The NTSB is leading the investigation into the crash of the Flight Design GMBH CTLS, a single piston aircraft that went down around 7:30 p.m. after departing Philadelphia en route to New Hampshire.

The pilot has been identified by police as James McGee of Rye, New Hampshire. 

Heidi Moats, air safety investigator with the NTSB, said witnesses reported seeing the aircraft descend into the water.
