    A pilot who crashed a plane in the Amazon rainforest last year and was found alive after 13 days has now died – in a second Amazon plane crash.<\/p>\n

    Otavio Augusto Munhoz da Silva's plane went missing over the Amazon on August 28. His sister reported him missing to authorities on September 1.<\/p>\n

    A huge search effort was launched but sadly the 38-year-old was found dead alongside the destroyed aircraft in Mucajai, northern Brazil.<\/p>\n

    An autopsy was carried out before his body was given back to the family on September 2. He will be buried in his hometown of Londrina, a city in southern Brazil.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Otavio's family said he worked as a private air taxi driver, often travelling over the dense Amazon rainforest. <\/p>\n

    Police will now investigate the cause of this latest crash. <\/p>\n

    The crash this year came almost exactly 11 months on from when he last went missing. <\/p>\n

    He went down in another plane in the Amazon on September 27, 2022. He was considered missing by authorities but 13 days later a walker miraculously stumbled across him alive. Otavio had been walking that entire time in search of help. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Brazil's Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Centre said at the time: "The aircraft was located in a dense forest area near the Mucajai River.<\/p>\n

    "The aircraft was destroyed and showed signs of intentional fire."<\/p>\n

    Otavio's mother Maria Lucia Munhoz Silva said at the time: "I remained confident that he could survive. I knew he would endure because he used to carry a bag with medications and food. But the prayers sustained my son.<\/p>\n

    "I don't even know the extent of how many people prayed for him. I am relieved, very happy with this news."<\/p>\n
