An autopsy will be performed Sunday on a Kentucky man to help determine how a helicopter crashed in Indiana.

Police say 60-year-old Joseph Ohnheiser of Sadieville died Saturday when the helicopter went down over Rising Sun, Indiana.

Dianne Davis says her husband called police when he heard the crash. "All of a sudden, he heard a crash, and it was silent. He came in and said I think I heard a helicopter crash," remembers Dianne.

The helicopter took off from Georgetown but went off the radar at about 9:30 a.m.

The wreckage was located by Civil Air Patrol just after 3:00 Saturday afternoon.

Representatives from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived at the crash site Sunday morning to continue their investigation.
