The six people aboard a Boston-bound medical jet that disappeared over the Atlantic have been identified as a Bermudian mother and son and a four-person Canadian flight and medical crew.
Marilyn Lavonne Bean, 66, was being transported for treatment related to a stroke, with her son, Sergio Wayne Lottimore, accompanying her aboard the medevac flight.
The U.S. Coast Guard identified the four Canadians aboard as Philip Gregory Childerhose, Thomas Henry Farquhar, Sarah Jane Paton and Jolene Beth Weir.

Childerhose was the captain and Farquhar was the first officer, while Paton served as the flight nurse and Weir as the respiratory therapist, according to Latitude Air Ambulance.
The Gulfstream G100 disappeared early Saturday while traveling from Bermuda to Boston, triggering a major Coast Guard search off Nantucket. The Coast Guard suspended the search Sunday after debris associated with the aircraft was located.
Lottimore was senior vice president and head of specialty reinsurance at Hamilton Re, according to the Bermuda-based company.
“The entire Hamilton team is heartbroken by the loss of a respected leader, colleague and friend,” Hamilton Re said in a statement.

Lottimore was also a 2002 graduate of Warwick Academy, where he had served as a prefect. The school remembered him as an “outstanding person.”
Bermuda Police said a family liaison officer had been assigned to assist the family.
The aircraft was operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, a Canadian medical transport company. Latitude previously confirmed to Fox News Digital that the Gulfstream was operating as a medevac flight and was expected to make the journey from Bermuda to Boston in approximately two hours.
Latitude Air Ambulance President Peter Byl said the company was mourning an “unimaginable loss.”
“Our focus now is on supporting their families, supporting our people and assisting the authorities,” Byl said. “We will honour our colleagues by remembering the care, professionalism, and commitment they brought to their work every day.”
The flight departed Bermuda’s L.F. Wade International Airport late Friday night and was bound for Boston Logan International Airport.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said the crew reported electrical difficulties as the aircraft approached the Boston area before the jet descended rapidly and air traffic control lost contact south of Nantucket.
FlightAware data previously reviewed by Fox News Digital showed the aircraft descending from 24,000 feet to 11,000 feet in roughly three minutes around 1 a.m. Saturday.
The Federal Aviation Administration previously told Fox News Digital that it issued a Search and Rescue Alert Notice at approximately 1:20 a.m. ET. Massport later confirmed the aircraft never arrived at Boston Logan.
A civilian vessel located debris associated with the aircraft, according to the Coast Guard.
“During this incredibly difficult time, our heartfelt condolences go out to the families and friends impacted by this tragic incident,” Rear Adm. Matthew Lake, commander of the Coast Guard Northeast District, said Monday.
“We are grateful to the crews and partner agencies who quickly responded to this incident, and we will continue to support our Canadian partners as they conduct their investigation,” Lake added.
Canada is leading the investigation because the aircraft was registered there, in accordance with international agreements, according to the TSB. The National Transportation Safety Board is assisting as an accredited representative for the United States.
The cause has not yet been determined.
