The friend of an Australian pilot killed in a Brazilian plane during a massive drug drop is convinced he was probably the victim of a larger conspiracy.
Timothy James Clark, 46, was flying over Coruripe, on the coast of the Alagoas region in Brazil's far north-east, when his plane crashed around 1.30pm on September 14.
Clark, the sole occupant of the aircraft, died at the scene, surrounded by Australian snacks and 200kg of SpaceX-branded bricks of cocaine aboard the kit aircraft.
But a close friend of Clark has now told Daily Mail she believes he may have unwittingly become caught up in the international drug trade and was set up to fail.
'I'm kind of freaked out by everything - this story didn't just start this week for me,' she told the Daily Mail.
