"Tragic Helicopter Crash Claims Former Chilean President Sebastian Pinera's Life"

Former Chilean President Sebastian Pinera has died in a helicopter crash in the Los Ríos region of southern Chile at the age of 74. Three others on board survived and are "out of danger." Pinera, a billionaire businessman-turned-politician, served as president from 2010 to 2014 and again from 2018 to 2022. His death has prompted a state funeral and a period of national mourning in Chile, which was already in mourning due to devastating forest fires. Pinera's leadership was marked by significant events, including massive protests, a popular vote on constitutional change, and the country's Covid-19 pandemic response.
