WELLINGTON, New Zealand --

Two people are dead after a helicopter they were flying to fight a fire crashed into the ocean off New Zealand's far north coast.

The two have not yet been formally identified but are presumed to be a pilot and a conservation worker.

Commercial divers on Thursday located two bodies in the wreck off the remote Karikari peninsula. Police divers were in the process of removing the corpses.
