Family members state they don’t know where they were on their return journey when they died and they don’t know if they made the journey in one or more vehicles. 

Currently, it is thought they were surprised by a large waterspout near the town of Cheste. 

The businessmen were well known in the local community for their community work including Vicente Tarancon, whose brand dressed the local basketball team.
