Felipe Camiroaga
Search crews have also found many pieces of the CASA 212 that crashed Friday afternoon after two failed attempts to land in difficult weather on the remote Juan Fernandez islands. Officials said they believe all aboard died.
The bodies of two women and one man were recovered Saturday. They have not yet been identified.
Chile’s TVN national television said five of its staff members were among the passengers, including popular TV presenter Felipe Camiroaga.
Camiroaga, 44, worked for Television Nacional’s Good Morning Everyone show and he was flying to the island to do a program on its reconstruction following the magnitude-8.8 earthquake and tsunami that wiped out its main town on Feb. 27, 2010.
Fans of the show lit candles and said prayers outside the TV station in Santiago on Friday night.
