Five Americans and Ecuador’s intelligence chief, Michele Sensi-Contugi, were among seven people killed when a helicopter crashed near Mount Ololokwe in central Kenya on Wednesday, August 19.

Ecuadorian media reported that Sensi-Contugi’s wife, fashion designer Stephany Sensi, also died. Telemundo confirmed that one of its executives, Josué Suárez, was among the victims.
