<blockquote>It was not immediately known if Halladay was flying the plane or if he was killed in the crash.
Halladay&#8217;s ICON A5 light sport aircraft crashed into the Gulf 10 miles west of St. Petersburg at about 1 p.m., the Pasco County Sheriff&#8217;s Office said.</blockquote>
A news conference with Pasco County authorities is set for 4:15 PM ET. Those who wish to will be able to watch the conference live at <a href="http://wfla.com">WFLA.com</a>.
Halladay, as those who follow him on social media know, is an avid aviator. Recent images show him posing next to a new ICON with the same tail number as can be seen in images of the wreckage online.
UPDATE:
The Pasco County Sheriff&#8217;s Office confirms that Roy Hallday has died.
I don&#8217;t even know what else to say&#8230;
