Penyanyi Brazil antara 5 maut nahas helikopter

Brazilian singer Rick Sollo, part of the popular country music duo Rick & Renner, was among the five fatalities following a helicopter crash in the mountainous region of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, on Tuesday, according to the bomb squad, as reported by Xinhua. The helicopter reportedly disappeared on Sunday after departing from Porto Belo on the north coast of the state en route to Sao Joaquim, where it was expected to encounter severe weather and thunderstorms.

The bodies of the deceased, including businessman Bruno Avelar, cameraman Paulo Soares, pilot Paulo Soares, and his assistant, were found on Tuesday during a search operation involving around 40 bomb squad members, over a dozen vehicles, drones, two search dogs, and an airlifted aircraft. Brazil's civil aviation agency confirmed that the 2001-produced Bell 430 had a valid operating certificate.

Rick & Renner are among Brazil's most famous pair of country music singers, starting their career in the 1980s.
