Two people are dead after a light sport airplane crashed near Cedartown.

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 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.

Bergen says the plane is a QuikR registered to Atlanta Sport Aviation Inc. of Cedartown, which is in Polk County in northeast Georgia. The company's phone number is not listed.
