Chile’s former president Sebastian Pinera has reportedly died in a helicopter crash.
Pinera, who ruled the country twice, is among the records as the richest man in the country.
It was a helicopter accident in Lago Ranco, a popular tourist destination south of the country’s capital, Santiago.
The helicopter carrying the 74-year-old ex-president Piñera and others crashed into a reservoir in Lago Ranco.
However, it is special that the remaining three people who traveled on the plane survived the accident.
It is also reported that the president’s body has been found.
Although Pinera owned the helicopter involved in the accident, it is not known if he was piloting the plane when the accident occurred.
A period of mourning has been announced for the death of the former president.
And the leaders of Latin American countries had expressed their condolences in this regard.
Pinera, who ruled the country twice from 2010 to 2014 and from 2018 to 2022, is one of the most popular rulers in the country.
With the safe release of 33 miners trapped in a mine in the Atacama for 69 days, he attracted international attention at the time.
Pinera is also considered to be the richest man in Chile.
He is also the person who introduced the credit card system to the country in the 80s.
