witnesses will be going to ntsb. we are assisting with the investigation and the forensics piece. i can tell you sadly it has turned into a recovery. e we recovered one body. there was a two-passenger plane but i can confirm there was only one body involve d. it's sad to say it's a friend of ours. it's roy holiday. many know roy as a cy young award inper one of the best pitchers that ever pitched in the game of baseball. we know roy as a person. he loved his boys tremendously. he coached our baseball teams. when he spoke to his family, he spoke with pride. the entire family we are so sad for your loss. and i can tell you we are praying tr you.

we know you are a family of faith and our hearts and prayers go out to you. e we know how much he means to you and i can tell you from the bottom of our hearts we know how much you all meant to him. roy meant a lot of the sheriffs office. i can tell you i'm not speaking on behalf of the family. i don't have the honor to do that. i definitely don't. because r they are going to have somebody better speak on their behalf. but i can speak as somebody who knew him. he was a part of our sheriffs office. his kids went to school with some of our kids. he was there wherever we needed him. he was probably one of the most humble human beings you'll ever meet. for somebody who won two cy young, one of the greatest pitchers in baseball, he would walk in a room as if he was just anybody. didn't matter who he met, he was kind, generous, his family purchased a dog for us.

he's out there working and saving lives. making our community safer. he was out there with us and i saw him on friday. we had a charity fishing event. and sadly we were out in these waters right here fishing for charity. roy was out there with us. i can tell you being a pilot and flying planes was his passion. he would talk about it, aubt refurbishing planes. he had family involved in flying, his dad. so roy, he was one in a million. it's a true loss for us. i have no doubt he's looking down with god up in heaven. his heart was a heart of gold. he was an unbelievable human being. i'm blessed for knowing him. i have already gotten calls. they are trying to get down here as quick as possible because he was a personal friend of our sheriffs office. and so right now, we're going to

be working with this family to provide any assistance we can from the investigative standpoint it's ntsb. any updates will be coming from it them. it's a sad day for us here. it's a sad day for tampa bay. it's a sad day for anybody who loves major league baseball. even sadder day for the family. i ask that you you respect his family and nobody go to his home. please give them time to grieve. they deserve that. on behalf of the family, i would just say please pray for them. >> when did you know he was the person on board and who was killed? >> actually, when i was driving out, we got information it was a plane crash. that's all we had had. as we were in a meeting this afternoon discussing security for the week ahead, i was pulled out. they said the plane had gone

down. the tail number goes back to roy's plane. at that moment your heart sinks and you start priing. we started coming back this way because we were praying for the best that it could be a search and rescue and we were just going to be taking him to the hospital and something happened. and it just breaks our hearts. >> we have some information. but i don't want to put anything out there because i can't confirm it. they are the real investigative portion with the plane and the flight patterns. i can tell you where it came from and the information where people are tell iing us he came out of. if i give you that information, it probably could be wrong. i don't want to provide false information. >> do you have any reports of engine trouble? did anyone hear or e see anything right before the crash?

>> there are witnesses that saw thing, but that information is going to ntsb. the sheriffs office is is not involved in the crash investigation. so i don't want to put anything out there that ntsb wouldn't want us to release. >> did he say anything. all i know is that we got a call that came in that a call had crashed. >> can you describe what first responders saw when they arrived there? >> the maritime went out there. they were basically out there and the plane was down. there is some debris tu to the tide has shifted a little bit. from our standpoint it was a rescue mission. it was somebody goes down, it's a shallow water.

this is kind of on the flight pattern where people are getting lower. i can imagine from our perspective the deputies first arriving out there, they were hope iing the plane was low eno somebody could have ditched it and got out. >> you said there was some debris e found. >> the plane is in solid condition, but there is pieces of the plane that have e floated away. yes, due to tide and shifts and treating some of that for ntsb. >> where did it go? what happens to the plane? >> next few hours, right now ntsb is en route. they are coming to handle the investigation. we are assisting them. we are now in contact with them. anything they need we're providing for them.

as of right now, we're recovering some of the debris that has shifted off. our maritime is going to be sitting there guarding the boat. the other thing is to any citizens out there, this is not something to go out there and be an on lolooker about. have respect for the family, have respect for the deceased. just stay away from the area. there's nothing you're going to e see that you won't see later on through the investigation. our maritime unit will be out there patrolling and protecting that crime scene. >> a long line of aviation fanatics, people who love to fly. can you say anything how experienced he is at flying? >> i don't know how long of a history the family has had. i just know there are people in his family that fly. he loved to fly. he would talk about flying and refurbishing plans and how he grew up doing it.

it's a passion. he talked about his family e. he talked about baseball and he talked about flying. but it goes back to he's one of the nicest human beings. a lot of time people talk about athletes and egos or about money and cars. that was not roy. roy was the most down to earth person. if you had dropped something, roy would be the first one to bend down and pick it up. if you were in need, roy would be the first one to say how can i help you. except he was 6'6", you would have never guessed this guy was a professional athlete by the way he talked or spoke. he was the definition of a true human being. he defined what the word christian is. >> i left a voice mail with one of his family members. i can understand roy was a p

popular person. you're probably getting as a media standpoint a lot of people giving you information. there are people that we understand who are around here at the time plooef they saw roy's plane. word got out there. we were trying to ensure whatever word was the true word. we are part of the process. victim advocates have been out there. we'll be talking to family. i get it. like you, they have questions. they have a lot more questions. and they deserve to hear the answers first.

>> there you have confirmation from sheriffs authorities in florida that that small plane that crashed that we told you about earlier in the newscast was, in fact, piloted by 40-year-old roy halladay. you saw the video looping of the greatest moment in his career. the post season appearance when he pitched the no-hitter. that's something that phillies fans will never forget. he was 40 years old. piloting a plane he tweeted about. it was his dream to own that plane, the icon a-5, which he had recently just taken possession of in the last month. >> his plane crashed in the gulf of mexico near the town of holliday, florida. the plane was found upside down in shallow water. only one body recovered. it was a two-passenger plane. but you heard there was only one body that was found and it was a rescue mission initially. dye teams went in and quickly became a recovery mission. >> sad day for the phillies, for their fans, major league
