Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Well-known Chinese landscape architect Kongjian Yu died with three others after a plane crash in the Brazilian wilderness.
Yu, 62, was reportedly killed along with three other passengers Tuesday afternoon after their plane crashed near Brazil's Mato Grosso do Sul state in the lush Pantanal wetlands near the borders of neighboring Bolivia and Paraguay, according to The Guardian and The New York Times.
The crash of the small four-seater single-engine Cessna killed its pilot and the two Brazilian filmmakers traveling with Yu, Luiz Ferraz and Rubens Crispim Junior, after the plane spiraled after an aborted landing attempt.
Yu and the film crew were on the way to a ranch while shooting a documentary on Yu's globally renowned work.
