The crash of a Eurocopter/Helibrás AS350 on Saturday (27) in dense forest in Bertioga - SP claimed the lives of all 5 on board.
The aircraft was carrying Marcelo Müller, 33, grandson of the founder of one of Brazil's most famous distilleries (Pirassununga). Also aboard were his wife Lumara Passos Müller, 31, and their and their 2 year old daughter Geórgia Passos Müller.
Besides the family the pilot, identified as Thiago Yamamoto and the child's governess, an adolescent, Raquel dos Santos Vilas Boas were also killed in the crash.
The helicopter had been chartered on short notice by the family to take their infant daughter for medical treatment, due to an illness she had contracted on a recent trip to the USA.
Our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers are extended to the family and friends of all the victims of this unfortunate and untimely tragedy.
With Deepest Sympathy,
