[HIGHLIGHTS] Sebastián Piñera's sister who was traveling with the former president of Chile in the helicopter spoke: "He was a great man, brave and generous"

Magdalena Piñera Echenique was one of the survivors of the fatal accident. The historian and executive director of the Futuro Foundation referred to her brother in a brief contact late last night with the Meganoticias portal.

On Tuesday night, the body of the former president arrived in Valdivia, where the Legal Medical Service performed an autopsy. Sources cited by La Tercera detailed that the results showed that he died from asphyxiation due to submersion. The former president spent the southern summer vacations at his home in Bahía Coique.
