One body has been found in the search for a plane with eight passengers that crashed Sunday, Feb. 13, east of Drum Inlet on the Outer Banks, the U.S. Coast Guard reports.

Searchers do not believe there were any survivors, according to a news conference video posted by Fox 8. The identity of the person who was found has not been released.

The body was discovered Feb. 13, officials said.

A search is underway for the other seven passengers and plane, which is described as a Pilatus PC-12 single-engine passenger aircraft. There are three debris field associated with the crash — some as far as 15 miles offshore — but the fuselage has not been found, officials said at the news conference.
