The Piper Navajo Chieftain crashed soon after takeoff in shallow waters, according to the Coast Guard. A private float plane from a fish-processing company pulled four survivors from the wreckage, and another person managed to swim to shore, authorities said. One survivor later died at the hospital. Five bodies were recovered.
