   Canadian politician Jim Prentice and three friends were killed   
   when their plane crashed in British Columbia, authorities   
   confirmed Friday.   
      
   A former premier of Alberta and government minister, Prentice   
   was heading home to Calgary from a golfing trip when their twin-   
   engine Cessna Citation crashed around 10 p.m. Thursday local   
   time (1 a.m. Friday ET) shortly after taking off from Kelowna,   
   CTV reported, citing sources.   
      
   "Our police officers and police dog reached the crash scene   
   shortly after midnight, but unfortunately they were not able to   
   locate any survivors," Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl. Dan   
   Moskaluk said in a statement. "There was catastrophic damage at   
   the crash site."   
      
   Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also issued a statement   
   about Prentice's death. "Today, we mourn the passing of a great   
   Canadian," Trudeau said.   
      
   A team of investigators from the country's Transportation Safety   
   Board was en route to the crash site to inspect the plane and   
   begin probing the deadly crash, a TSB spokesman told NBC News.   
   The RCMP did not immediately release the identities of those   
   killed in the crash.   
      
   Prentice, 60, was a Conservative who bucked his own party in   
   2005 and voted to support gay marriage. He was also a married   
   father of three daughters and a grandfather of two.   
      
   Apparently karma felt it was time to correct Jim's mistake.
