The private pilot, named Otávio Augusto Munhoz da Silva, had reportedly been flying his aircraft along his usual route of Mucajaí, South of Roraima on August 28, Jam Press reported.
Disaster struck after the flyboy crashed in the city of Pacaraima, in a forested area, near the border of Venezuela.
Authorities were alerted to the crash from a police report filed by the victim’s sister on September 1, G1 reported.
Da Silva had been reported missing until that same Friday, when the Paraná native’s body was found.
