Girl, 3, and boy, 4, confirmed dead in Brazilian plane crash as rescuers retrieve bodies

All 62 bodies have been recovered from the site of the deadly plane crash outside São Paulo on Friday afternoon, according to the state government.

The bodies of 34 men and 28 women were recovered, according to the São Paulo government, who said that only two – the pilot and co-pilot – have been identified so far.

The passenger plane crashed outside São Paulo on Friday afternoon, killing everyone on board after dropping 17,000 feet in just one minute – but it is not yet clear why. The flight had left Cascavel, in the Brazilian state of Parana, and was en route to Guarulhos, in São Paulo state.

Dramatic footage circulating on social media showed the plane’s fall and its destroyed fuselage in flames on the ground.

In order to help identify bodies, families have been asked to share medical documentation of the victims “such as radiological, medical and/or dental exams,” said a statement released by the government of the state of São Paulo.

Details are emerging about was on board. Among those killed are a three-year-old girl and her father, according to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Santa Catarina, where the man worked.

Regional airline Voepass, who operated the flight, said that all passengers had Brazilian documents while four victims had dual nationality: three Venezuelans and one Portuguese.

The three Venezuelans were a woman, her mother and her 4-year-old son who were traveling with their pet dog.

The State of São Paulo has declared three days of official mourning in honor of the victims who were on the flight from Cascavel, in the Brazilian state of Parana, to Guarulhos, in São Paulo state, when it lost signal.
