A fatal mid-air collision in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday morning claimed the lives of American singer Oliver Tree and Argentine YouTube creator Gaspi, raising questions about why they were travelling together and what they might have been filming. As Brazilian aviation authorities open a formal investigation into the crash, fans and media outlets are trying to piece together what brought the two prominent internet personalities onto the same helicopter, amid unconfirmed reports of a possible content collaboration.
The aircraft carrying the 32-year-old musician and the digital creator, whose name is Gasper Prim, collided with another helicopter. Five people aboard their flight and the lone pilot of the second aircraft perished in the disaster. CNN Brazil initially reported the deaths and confirmed the identities of the other victims.
