Businessman Henrique da Cunha Santos, until then the only survivor of a helicopter crash in Caruaru, in Agreste de Pernambuco, died on Tuesday night (29) after 50 days in hospital, under intensive treatment for burns.
The death was caused by multiple organ failure, according to the family in a press release. Henrique suffered burns on 90% of his body due to the aircraft fire.
In a statement, the family’s lawyer, Nívson Rafael Braga, highlighted Henrique’s legacy: “He was a loving father, very attached to his children, and an exemplary husband.”
There is still no information about Henrique’s wake and burial.
