A U.S. Bank executive has been identified as the victim killed when a small plane crashed into a Minnesota home.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner named Terrence “Terry” Robert Dolan as the victim of the plane crash in a statement on Tuesday, April 1. He was 63.
The cause of death was “multiple blunt force injuries,” the statement read, adding that the medical examiner, FAA and NTSB are investigating.
The plane, registered under the vice chair’s name, departed on Saturday, March 29, from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was heading toward Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis when the crash occurred, according to CBS News.
Kenneth Tobacman and his wife lived in the home, but only Kenneth was there at the time of the crash, according to Good Morning America. Despite the property being set ablaze, Kenneth was uninjured and able to safely evacuate, NBC News reported.
The Brooklyn Park Fire Department was dispatched at around 12:22 p.m. local time following reports of an aircraft incident and a home on fire. PEOPLE has previously reached out to U.S. Bank and the Brooklyn Park Fire Department for comments.
The National Transportation Safety Board identified the plane as a single-engine SOCATA TBM7 and is investigating the cause of the crash in a post on X and said they are investigating the cause of the crash.

In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, before Dolan’s death was confirmed, a spokesperson for U.S. Bank previously said their “thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends, and anyone who may have been affected by yesterday’s tragic incident”
“We are grateful that there were not any injuries to residents of the home that was impacted by the crash, and we thank all the first responders who have provided service,” they added in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.
According to Dolan’s page on the U.S. Bank website, he became chief administrative officer in 2023, with previous roles in the firm, including chief financial officer and executive vice president.
Dolan, 63, had a “passion for flying and his plane,” Tim Marx, Catholic Charities’ former CEO, told CBS News. The pair worked closely together while Dolan was on the board of directors for Catholic Charities Twin Cities from 2012 to 2017.
“[The news] just really hit me hard,” Marx said. “It was a real sad shock.”
