A man who died in a plane crash in Minnesota earlier this week was scattering his father’s ashes, police said.
Lee Cemensky, 58, died on Sunday, Aug. 28, 2022, just weeks after his father passed away after he went up on a "homemade" plane typically used to help tourists sight-see to pay tribute to his father, KLAS-TV reported.
The flight was brought to an abrupt end as it unexpectedly crashed in north-central Minnesota, killing Cemensky, who was a passenger, and Douglas Johnson, the 61-year-old who operated the plane.
