Brazilian
presidential candidate
Eduardo Campos was killed
in a plane crash in the
southeastern city of Santos
on Wednesday, television
news network GloboNews
said, without saying how it
obtained the information.
A source in the Brazilian
Socialist Party had
previously told Reuters that
Campos was on the Cessna
560XL that crashed.
Campos, 49, is a former
governor of northeastern
Pernambuco state who had
the support of about 10
percent of voters in recent
polls. He positioned himself
as a business-friendly leftist
and was a former ally of
President Dilma Rousseff,
who is seeking a second
term.
