There is yet to be an identification, but the Italian coastguard stated they found within the racing balloon paperwork to show that the bodies are of Richard Abruzzo (47) and Carol Rymer Davis (65).
They disappeared when taking part in the Gordon Bennett Gas Balloon Race after their balloon went into a storm of high winds and lightning. Though investigators will later find out what caused the balloon to crash.
"The pair took off in their balloon, USA2, from a launch field near Bristol in England on 25 September, along with 19 other teams.
Their last contact was with the Italian coastguard on the morning of 29 September when they reported bad weather over the Adriatic."-BBC
