Alternative music star Oliver Tree was killed at age 32 when two helicopters collided over Rio de Janeiro on June 14. Five others also died in the crash.
The collision happened Sunday morning in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood. Tree was aboard one helicopter with passengers Gaspar Prim, Lucas Brito Chaves, Lucas Vignale and pilot Alexandre Souza. Pilot Charles Marsillac flew the second craft alone. All six perished.
Authorities confirmed the midair crash sparked a fire at an electric vehicle dealership. An investigation continues using video and flight data. Tree had just performed in São Paulo on his world tour supporting the April album Love You Madly Hate You Badly.
In an April interview Tree revealed his will funnels music earnings into the Dr. Oliver Tree's Art Grants for Baby Geniuses foundation. Family members receive nothing. His net worth sat around four million dollars at the time of death.
