Two men were confirmed killed in last Wednesday's small plane crash in Shelby County.

Bloomington restaurateur Nathan Finney, president and founder of Finney Hospitality Group and owner of Social Cantina and The Tap among other restaurant establishments was killed in the crash about 4:45 p.m.

Finney had recently purchased the plane and was learning to fly with Warren Bruhl, a chiropractor and a commercial pilot.

The flight originated from Monroe County Airport in Bloomington, Indiana.

The Cirrus SR22 crashed in a cornfield. Initial reports indicated one fatality. But later that evening, a second was confirmed.

The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation. A report is expected to be published in approximately 30 days.
