A Wisconsin man died in yesterday's plane crash near Denver yesterday.

The Adams County Coroner says he was 41-year-old Salil Sinha of Marshville.

The single-engine Cessna 182 he was piloting crashed and exploded in a vacant field in a residential area near Thornton.

The cause of the crash is under investigation, but the Denver
Post says witnesses to the crash said wind was a likely cause.

Strong winds in the area temporarily grounded planes at Denver International Airport in the afternoon.
