WASHINGTON, July 7, 2003 (TomFlocco.com) -- According to a source who refused to be named in this story, Florida Congresswoman Katherine Harris (R-FL) died this morning in a light plane crash in foggy conditions near Toronto's island airport around 10:00 AM. The Toronto Islands are located on Lake Ontario, adjacent to Canada's mainland.

Reports and sources are as yet unable to confirm why the Florida congresswoman and former Secretary of State during Florida's 2000 presidential election controversy had flown from Chicago to Toronto; however, the source also said that Governor Jeb Bush was reportedly at the accident scene shortly after the crash.

Our internet search confirmed that there was a crash this morning in the Toronto Islands at about 9:57 AM, and that there is currently a search and recovery effort being conducted, according to a Toronto Globe and Mail report a 4:51 this afternoon. However, we also confirmed that there was activity in Harris' Washington, DC congressional office at least until midnight tonight -- on the Monday of a long Fourth of July holiday weekend when Congress is not even in session.
