Four Indian-origin senior citizens of a family from New York, who disappeared on a road trip to a spiritual site in West Virginia, were found dead on Saturday, Marshal County Sheriff Mike Dougherty said on Sunday.
The victims were identified as Asha Divan (85), Kishore Divan (89), Shailesh Divan (86) and Gita Divan (84).
"Marshal County Sheriff Mike Dougherty has confirmed that the four individuals who were reported missing from Buffalo, New York, have been found deceased following a vehicle crash. The victims have been identified as Dr Kishore Divan, Mrs Asha Divan, Mr Shailesh Divan, and Mrs Gita Divan," the Sheriff's office posted on Facebook.
"Their vehicle was located on Saturday, August 2, at approximately 9:30 pm, off a steep embankment along Big Wheeling Creek Road. First responders were on the scene for more than five hours," it added.
The family was last seen six days ago at a Burger King outlet on Peach Street in Erie, Pennsylvania, around 2: 45 pm on July 29.
CCTV footage captured two members of the group entering the restaurant, and credit card activity at Burger King marked it as their last verified stop before their disappearance.
