Medical Mutual CEO Dies In Plane Crash

CLEVELAND -- A spokesman for health insurer Medical Mutual of Ohio says the company is in mourning over the death of chief executive Kent Clapp.

Sixty-two-year-old Clapp and his fiancee were killed in Puerto Rico Wednesday, along their pilot. Their small, chartered plane crashed in dense fog into a mountain in the El Yunque rainforest about 13 miles east of San Juan.

Medical Mutual spokesman Ed Byers says the bodies of the two passengers have not been positively identified but the owner of the plane said Clapp and bride-to be Tracy Turner were on board with the pilot.

A National Transportation Safety Board investigator is at the scene studying the charred wreckage.

Clapp joined Medical Mutual in 1976 and was named CEO in 1997.
