OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says six people were aboard the Canadian Forces helicopter that crashed off Greece during a training exercise.

One body has been recovered and five remain missing after the Cyclone helicopter went down, according to the PM.

The helicopter was flying a mission from HMCS Fredericton, a Canadian frigate taking part in a NATO mission.

In a briefing in Ottawa, chief of the defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance says the one sailor confirmed to have died is Sub-Lt. Abbigail Cowbrough of Nova Scotia.

Vance says there’s nothing worse than seeing fellow service members go over the horizon and losing contact with them.
