RIO DE JANEIRO — The campaign plane of Eduardo Campos, a Brazilian presidential candidate and scion of a resurgent political dynasty, crashed on Wednesday in the port city of Santos, killing him and six others and shaking up an increasingly competitive race in Latin America’s largest democracy.
The plane, a Cessna Citation business jet, crashed near a gym in a residential area of Santos, a city near São Paulo where Mr. Campos’s campaign had scheduled several events on Wednesday, the Brazilian news media reported. The weather was rainy, though aviation officials said they were just starting to investigate the cause of the crash.
Residents of the area where the plane went down said they saw charred body parts strewn around the streets as smoke billowed in the sky. Among the other passengers who died in the crash were senior campaign aides, the campaign’s official photographer, the official videographer and two pilots.
