Overview
- Two helicopters struck each other over the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood, and the collision on Sunday, June 14, killed six people including singer Oliver Tree.
- One helicopter plunged into an electric‑vehicle dealership, igniting about 18–20 EVs and forcing firefighters to fight large blazes that have damaged evidence and slowed recovery.
- Those confirmed dead include Oliver Tree, music producer Lucas Frota, Lucas Vignale, YouTuber Gaspar Prim (Gaspi), and pilots Alexandre Souza and Charles Marsillac.
- Brazilian aviation investigators (CENIPA and SERIPA) and the local civil police have opened a formal probe, are collecting video and scene forensics, and are prioritizing recovery of flight recorders while treating human error as a possible factor.
- A close associate, producer Victor WAO, said he was booked on the flight but withdrew at the last minute, and promoters and associates are pausing tour planning as the investigation and identification work continue.
