Emerging details on Michigan basketball recruit Austin Hatch’s recovery from a Charlevoix plane crash have slowed, but the Petoskey News has reported a sliver of good news in a story that has captivated national news outlets.

Officials at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, who provided updates on Hatch’s status to various media outlets as late as Sunday night, stopped doing so on Monday.

AnnArbor.com was told Monday afternoon that “there is no patient at this hospital registered under” the name Austin Hatch.

Later, a family spokesperson released this statement to the media:

"Austin remains in critical condition but is recovering. We ask that everyone respect our family's privacy during this time of grief. We appreciate the prayers, concerns, and outpouring of sympathy. Expressions of support for Austin and the family may be directed to www.caringbridge.org/visit/AustinHatch."

That Caring Bridge page includes an update on his status. An excerpt:

"Austin is still in ICU. His condition remains critical but stable. A recent CT Scan shows no worsening in his condition. The major objective is to minimize stimulation to allow him to heal."

The Petoskey News reported today that one of the Hatch family dogs, a young male labradoodle named Brady, survived the crash without injury and was picked up by an animal control officer less than a mile from the crash site.

Another dog aboard the plane, an elderly female sheltie collie named Ally, died at the scene.

Hatch was the lone human survivor when a private plane flown by his father, Stephen Hatch, crashed into a garage of an unoccupied home in Charlevoix on Friday night. His stepmother, Kim, also died. The plane took off from the Hatch's hometown of Fort Wayne, Ind.

Multiple reports indicated Hatch was to be taken out of a medically-induced coma today.

Hatch and his father also survived a similar crash in 2003 that killed his mother and two siblings.

The Associated Press spoke with one of Hatch’s Canterbury School teammates, Trent VanHorn, on Monday. He said Hatch is “one of the toughest guys I know” and can survive the crash.

VanHorn, who joined other friends and family in Traverse City, told the AP that the 2003 crash forced his friend to mature at a young age.
