The helicopter crashed into Mogadore Reservoir in Portage County, Ohio, with emergency services responding and an investigation underway.

The FAA said the pilot, Anthony Jones, was the only one on board the helicopter at the time of the crash, which happened shortly after 7 a.m. in Suffield Township.

Shrouded under the Star-Spangled Banner, Anthony Jones' body was brought to the transport vehicle between rows of first responders who stopped to honor the veteran “with a very heartfelt salute,” SFD shared.
