Summary
Oliver Tree’s family said Sunday that the 32-year-old singer’s body has been returned to California, a week after the June 14 helicopter collision above Rio de Janeiro killed all six people aboard.
Brazilian authorities are still investigating the crash, with earlier reporting pointing to possible human error by either a pilot or air traffic controllers.
Police identified the other victims as Argentine YouTuber Gaspar Prim Díaz, Lucas Vignale, and Brazilians Lucas Brito, Charles Marsillac and Alexandre Souza.
Tree, a Santa Cruz native touring South America, was remembered in a social media statement that thanked fans and said his planned arts grant would go ahead as part of his legacy.
