The CH-148 Cyclone helicopter crashed into the Ionian Sea on April 29 within sight of the Halifax-class frigate HMCS Fredericton while participating in a NATO training mission.

Cowbrough, a 23-year-old marine systems engineer from Halifax, was one of six on board the Royal Canadian Air Force CH-148 Cyclone helicopter that crashed off the west coast of Greece.

The crash killed six members of the Canadian Forces, though the remains of only one, Sub-Lt. Abbigail Cowbrough, have been recovered.

The HMCS Fredericton was alongside in Taranto, Italy, after last Wednesday's incident off the coast of Greece.

A news release on Friday afternoon said only one Canadian Armed Forces member — Sub-Lt. Abbigail Cowbrough of Nova Scotia — has been confirmed dead.

Pipers from across Canada, as well as in France, China, Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, came together for the virtual performance.
