The U. S. military announced Tuesday that five Marines have been declared dead after their plane collided with a fighter jet off the coast of Japan last week.
Search and recovery operations have also ended after the military, aided by Japanese and Australian forces, was able to find only one survivor, the Marines said in a statement.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
The Marines identified Capt. Jahmar Resilard as a casualty in the incident and will release the names of the other five Marines once their next of kin are notified.
