Four Indian-origin people, who went missing while on their way to a spiritual site, died in a road mishap in the US city of West Virginia, officials said on Sunday.

The deceased individuals were identified as Dr. Kishore Divan, Asha Divan, Shailesh Divan, and Gita Divan.

Confirming their death, Marshall County Sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook: "Marshal County Sheriff Mike Dougherty has confirmed that the four individuals who were reported missing from Buffalo, New York, have been found deceased following a vehicle crash."

"Their vehicle was located on Saturday, August 2, at approximately 9:30 PM, off a steep embankment along Big Wheeling Creek Road," the Facebook post said.

According to reports, they were travelling in a light green Toyota Camry with New York license plate EKW2611.

Police told WTRF the group was en route to Pittsburgh and planned to continue to Moundsville, West Virginia, where they had prepaid for lodging at International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) founder Prabhupada’s Palace of Gold for Tuesday night.

A missing person report was also filed in Buffalo, New York.
