Family spokeswoman: Alaska plane crash was a suicide
The death of a man whose plane clipped one building before smashing into another in the heart of downtown Anchorage was a suicide, a spokeswoman for his family said.
There`s no reason to think that Doug Demarest was trying to harm anyone but himself, Jahna Lindemuth said on Friday.

Lindemuth is a managing partner at the law firm where Demarest`s wife, Katherine Demarest, works. Lindemuth declined to say how the family knew it was a suicide and asked that the family`s privacy be respected.

Clint Johnson, the Alaska region chief for the National Transportation Safety Board, did not immediately return a New Year`s Day call Friday.
