Arianne Risso, dedicated to helping her patients battle cancer, tragically lost her life alongside seven other doctors in a plane crash in Brazil. The crash occurred as they were en route to a medical conference to further their oncology expertise.

The ill-fated flight departed from Cascavel, Parana, and was headed to Sao Paulo's Guarulhos international airport. It crashed in Vinhedo, horrifying people nationwide as its footage showed the ATR 72 aircraft plunging in a flat spin before it hit the ground. All 62 people on board were killed.

Investigations into the cause of the crash are underway, with reports of severe icing at the time being considered. Both 'black boxes' of the plane have been retrieved, and a criminal probe is also in progress. As the medical community mourns, families seek justice for their loved ones.
