Co-Owner of Philadelphia Inquirer Among Plane Crash Victims in Massachusetts

A co-owner of Philadelphia’s two major newspapers was identified Sunday as one of seven people who died Saturday night when a private jet ran off a runway at an airfield northwest of Boston and burst into flames, killing everyone on board.

Bill Marimow, the editor of one of the papers, The Philadelphia Inquirer, confirmed that one of its owners, Lewis Katz, 72, had died in the crash at Hanscom Airfield in Bedford, Mass.

Mr. Katz, a former owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team, and a business associate, Gerry Lenfest, had won a legal battle last Tuesday over the ownership of The Inquirer when they won an auction for the newspaper.
