Video taken from the scene shows the wreckage of the helicopter in the street, and paramedics trying to save Mr L.

The father of the victim told that he had been having coffee with his son just moments before he died.

'I had just had coffee with him. He left and I stayed in the bedroom lying down,' he said.

'I heard the noise and shouted at my other boy. It was normal helicopter noise, but at the same time there was a different noise.

'I left screaming for my son to "call the fireman for the person lying there".

It was only when he got closer to the crash site that Mr Leite Neto realised that it was his son who had been injured.

Local politician Bruno Aragão said he had spoken with the female occupant of the plane and that she had seen a light come on before the craft started falling.

The crash remains under investigation and police have not given any indication of what caused it.

The woman said her husband was filming at the time of the accident, but the footage has not been released.(It now did)

The helicopter tour was organised by Helicon who said they regretted the incident and added they would help support the family of the victim.
