Police said the single engine plane crashed around 11 a.m., killing both 65-year-old Michael Graver, MD, and his wife, Jodi Cohen, 52.
The Middlesex District Attorney said Dr. Graver was a “very experienced pilot” and co-owned the plane, the report states. The couple had been heading to Laurence G. Hanscom Field in Bedford, Mass., to meet their son, who was attending a conference in Massachusetts.
The airport is roughly 4 miles from the crash site, according to the report. The National Transportation Safety Board and other agencies are investigating the incident.
Dr. Graver was a cardiothoracic surgeon at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y.
