Investigators still do not know why a Boeing 737 with 15 people on board crashed in the Canadian Arctic, killing 12 people and injuring three others, police and the jet's owner First Air said on August 21.
The three survivors -- one of them a seven-year-old girl -- were in stable condition and recovering in hospitals after August 21's accident near Resolute Bay in the Arctic territory of Nunavut, federal police said.
"At this time the cause of the crash is unknown," First Air's vice president of marketing, Chris Ferris, told reporters, his voice breaking with emotion.
The seven-year-old girl and a 48-year-old man were evacuated to Ottawa for treatment, while the third survivor, a 23-year-old woman, was hospitalized in Nunavut, federal police said.
"We have no other information in regards to precipitating factors causing the plane crash," police spokeswoman Angelique Dignard said in an email.
