Former Chilean president Sebastián Piñera tragically killed in a helicopter crash

The accident transpired in the country's southern region, in the city of Lago Ranco, as indicated by Reuters from three separate sources.

Even though four individuals are reported to have been on the helicopter, only Sebastián Piñera perished in the accident. The remaining occupants were rescued.

Reuters reminded readers of Piñera's first presidential term from 2010 to 2014, when Chile experienced substantial economic growth and a drop in unemployment.

Violent demonstrations against social injustice marred his second term of 2018 to 2022. The incumbent president is Gabriel Boric.
