Antonio Pastini, 75, of Gardnerville, Nevada, was identified Monday as the pilot of the plane. Meanwhile, the official is in the process to identify the other four victims and notifying the kin, said Lt. Cory Martino, Yorba Linda chief of police services. The four dead include two males and two females.
"Unfortunately, the condition of the additional four deceased will require the use of additional measures, such as DNA, to obtain official identification," he said. "This type of identification can take time."
