Sebastián Piñera, two-time former president of Chile, has died in a helicopter crash.
Mr Pineda was 74.
Carolina Tohá, Chile’s Interior Minister, confirmed Mr Piñera’s death in a broadcast on Tuesday.
The helicopter carrying Mr Piñera and three others crashed into Lake Ranco in the Los Rios region in Southern Chile.
Three other passengers in the ill-fated helicopter survived, but Mr Piñera couldn’t make it, Mr Tohá said.
The former president first led the country between 2010 to 2014. Between 2018 and 2022, he led Chile through natural disasters, earthquakes and tsunamis.
