NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV/WAFB) - Federal investigators said Wednesday it could take several weeks before they have a preliminary cause of a plane crash near Franklin that killed a Louisiana doctor and two of his children.
The victims have been identified as Baton Rouge plastic surgeon Dr. Lucuis “Tre” Doucet and two of his three adult children, Giselle and Jean Luc.
Giselle was studying veterinary medicine at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. Jean Luc was an engineering student at LSU. Both were set to graduate this weekend.

Dr. Doucet was flying the plane, which he owned, when it crashed at about 12:05 p.m. Wednesday in Franklin.
The plane had departed from an airfield in Gonzales, Louisiana in Ascension Parish, three hours earlier, en route to Louisville.
Investigators said the plane, a single-engine Beechcraft V35, appeared to have broken apart in the air, leaving behind a nearly a half-mile-long trail of debris. The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation into the cause of the crash.
