Police have identified the two people who died in a plane crash in Rock County earlier this week.
Tanner Byholm, 25, of Glidden, and Remington Viney, 26, of Kimberly died in the crash, according to the Dane County Medical Examiner.
The small plane they were in crashed shortly after takeoff from the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport in Janesville on Tuesday.
The Rock County Sheriff’s Department says the plane had reported a problem to the airport tower before the tower lost contact about 9:27 a.m. Tuesday.
Investigators believe the pilot was trying to return to the airport when the plane crashed about a mile south of the airport near the Rock River.

MADISON, Wis. The Madison-based Women in Aviation Four Lakes Chapter is mourning the death Friday night of one of its founding members, who was one of the victims in Tuesday’s deadly plane crash in Janesville.
“We mourn the tragic loss of a young pilot whose life was cut far too short this week,” the group’s Facebook post reads. “Remington Viney was a founding member of our chapter. She embodied all that is great about aviation and our local aviation community. She was an inspiring pilot, an instructor, a leader and a lover of aviation in all forms. Unfortunately a tragic aviation accident took her from us. Her humble nature drew us to her and that quiet spark within kept us with her. You will be deeply missed, Remington. We loved you dearly. Blue skies and tailwinds forever.”
