Troopers responded to the airport at approximately 3:50 p.m. on Friday to assist with the medical emergency. Hyde was then taken by ambulance to Saint Francis Medical Center in Hartford, where she succumbed to her injuries. 

The Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner then assumed custody of Hyde's body, police said.

The National Transportation Safety Board is now investigating the fatal flight, which involved a Bombardier Challenger 300 airplane. 

Federal officials said that investigators are looking into a "trim issue" that happened before the turbulence event. More information will be known once investigators analyze data from the flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, and weather data, officials added. 

A preliminary report regarding the flight is expected to be released in two to three weeks. 

In addition to the NTSB, officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation are also looking into the incident.
