A passenger who died after a small plane crashed onto Santa Monica beach Thursday has been identified as the city’s former mayor, 95-year-old Rex Minter, officials confirmed.

The plane landed upside down along the shore just after 3:15 p.m. after only nine minutes in the air, and both the pilot and Minter — who were the only two on board — were hospitalized, authorities said.

The City of Santa Monica said Friday that Minter died from his injuries.

“The City is grateful for Mr. Minter’s public service and we join his family in mourning his passing. Flags in front of City Hall will be lowered to half-staff and a City Council meeting in the new year will be adjourned in honor of Minter’s service,” city officials said in a statement.
