Overview
- Two helicopters collided over Recreio dos Bandeirantes on June 14, killing six people including Oliver Tree and igniting fires at an electric‑vehicle lot.
- Brazilian authorities have opened a technical probe that is prioritizing recovery of flight recorders and video evidence while forensic teams work through heavy burn damage at the scene.
- During a late‑night set at Michigan’s Electric Forest festival, T‑Pain played an unreleased collaboration with Tree and showed a video tribute on the stage’s giant screen.
- Sources report the track was recorded in studio before Tree’s death but the claim comes from unnamed sources and there has been no official commercial release announced.
- Tree’s remains have been repatriated to California, his family is establishing the foundation named in his will, and a public celebration of life is scheduled for July 25 with a livestream available.
