On the 6th, a helicopter crashed on a lake in southern Chile, killing former President Sebastián Piñera. He was 74 years old.
The other three people were rescued and their injuries were not life-threatening. The cause of the crash is unknown. Chilean President Boric announced three days of mourning following the death of former President Piñero. He served as president for two four-year terms, starting in 2010 and starting in 2018. During his tenure, he worked on recovery from the massive 2010 earthquake that killed more than 500 people.
