The pilot died nearly one year after his plane crash-landed in a dense forested region, where he searched for weeks until he found a river and traced its course to civilization.
A Brazilian pilot who survived in the Amazon jungle for two weeks after a plane crash last year has reportedly passed away following a second aerial accident, authorities confirmed. He was 38 years old.

The Brazilian’s death comes one year after the pilot crashed his plane in September 2022 and had to survive in dense jungle for 13 days. He was subsequently forced to fend for himself for nearly two weeks, until the pilot, who was nearly at the end of his tether, found a jungle river and traced its course.On September 27, Da Silva was spotted by a passing vessel and rescued while the aircraft was found two days later.
