Hours before Saturday’s game Ensminger was informed of McCord’s passing but did not tell the team.
The 30-year-old TV journalist and wife of Steve Ensminger Jr. was traveling to Atlanta for the Tigers’ game against the Sooners.
The cause of the crash remains unknown.

From The Associated Press:
“The lack of a distress call and flight data recorder coupled with mangled and charred wreckage will make finding the cause of a fiery airplane crash in Louisiana extremely challenging, federal officials said Sunday. National Transportation Safety Board Vice Chairman Bruce Landsberg said at a press conference that it could take 12 to 18 months to figure out why the two-engine Piper Cheyenne fell from the sky about a minute after taking off from the Lafayette Regional Airport on Saturday.”
