Two people are dead after a light sport airplane crashed near Cedartown late Thursday afternoon. Kathleen Bergen with the Federal Aviation Administration says officials are unsure exactly when the plane went down, but 911 calls about a low flying aircraft were received about 4:30 p.m. Thursday. The two victims were found Friday morning by authorities with the help of a witness. Polk County sheriff's officials identified the victims as 44-year-old John Keith of Cedartown and 46-year-old John Edgeworth of Bowdon. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating what caused the crash. Bergen says the plane is a Quikr registered to Atlanta Sport Aviation Inc. of Cedartown, which is in northwest Georgia. The company's phone number is not listed.
