Tarzan actor Joe Lara was aboard a small business jet with seven people on board, which crashed in Tennessee as rescuers were without hope on Sunday of finding any survivors.
"We are no longer looking for survivors at this point,"
said chief rescuer Joshua Sanders at a press conference.
Sunday afternoon,
"several components of the plane as well as human remains"
were discovered.

The business jet took off from Smyrna, Tennessee Airport on Saturday for Palm Beach, Florida.
But the plane crashed shortly after takeoff in Percy Priest Lake, about twenty kilometers south of Nashville.
Joe Lara was famous for playing Tarzan in the
Tarzan: The Epic Adventures series
from 1996 to 1997. His wife Gwen Shamblin Lara, also on board, was the head of a Christian weight loss group, the Weighs Down Ministries.
