Game Show Host Peter Tomarkin Killed in Plane Crash
March 14, 2006, 04:45 AM
Former TV game show host Peter Tomarken and his wife were killed Monday morning when their small plane crashed into Santa Monica Bay. Divers have called off a search for a third person after authorities concluded only two people were on board.
The bodies of the 63-year-old Tomarken, host of the hit 1980's game show "Press Your Luck," and his wife, Kathleen, were identified by the Los Angeles County coroner's office. The plane was on its way to San Diego to ferry a medical patient to the UCLA Medical Center.
The FAA says the plane apparently had engine trouble and was headed back to Santa Monica Airport, but went down just off shore. "Press Your Luck" was known for contestants shouting the slogan "Big bucks! No whammies!"
