Police have identified two men who were killed when a small plane crashed in Ontario's Algonquin Park on Tuesday evening.

The Cessna 150 crashed into a heavily treed part of the provincial park shortly after 9:30 p.m. after the pilot became disoriented and the plane ran out of fuel.

The wreckage was found by an aerial search-and-rescue team the following morning in an area that was not accessible by car.

Pilot Logesh Lakshmikanthan, 25, and passenger Ravindran Arulanandar, 31, from North York were pronounced dead on scene.

A member of the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Trenton told CTV Toronto that Lakshmikanthan had logged 200 hours in the air prior to the fatal crash.

The company that loaned him the plane Tuesday said he'd flown 30 hours in it over the previous month.
