Madrid (Euronews). – Brazilian emergency services recovered this Saturday the bodies of the 62 passengers on board the passenger plane that crashed the day before in Vinhedo, Sao Paulo state, an accident that, as the local authorities had already reported, left no survivors.
According to the G1 news portal, of the total number of victims, 34 were men and the remaining 28 were women. However, although the bodies have been transferred to the Sao Paulo police morgue for identification, only the pilot and co-pilot have been identified so far.
On Friday, Voepass Airlines said the plane that crashed was carrying 57 passengers and four crew members, but on Saturday the company itself reported that another passenger who was not on the same flight had died, raising the death toll to 62.
According to the same media, the removal of the bodies was completed at around 6:30 pm this Saturday, and all the bodies were transferred to the central department of the Sao Paulo Medical-Legal Institute (IML) for identification and then transported to their families.
A plane carrying 62 people crashed in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo on Friday, leaving no survivors and no hypothesis has yet been proposed.
The plane was flying from Cascavel airport in Paraná state to Guarulhos in Sao Paulo when it crashed near a residential area in the town of Vinedo at around 1:25 p.m. local time.
According to the G1 portal, Voepass Linhas Aereas later claimed that it “could not confirm how the accident occurred,” although it clarified that the aircraft, manufactured in 2010, had all operating certificates.
This Friday marked the deadliest aircraft accident recorded in Brazil since a TAM plane overran the runway at Sao Paulo’s Congonhas airport in 2007. Subsequently, 199 people died.
