Embry-Riddle Professor one of two killed in helicopter crash on the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation.

Authorities say a second body has been found at the site of a helicopter crash on the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation near Phoenix. Tribal fire department officials say the second person was a passenger in the helicopter that went down about 7-am Tuesday in a farm field and the identity of the victim hasn’t confirmed. Earlier, officials at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott announced that the pilot killed in the crash was a professor at the school. They say Rucie Moore was chair of the school’s helicopter program, a full-time faculty member at the campus and a former U.S. Army helicopter test pilot. A FAA spokesman says the Bell 206B helicopter was on a flight from Falcon Field in Mesa and the cause of the crash is being investigated.
