... Mexican Interior Minister Francisco Blake was killed in a helicopter crash on Friday, a blow to the government as it fights powerful drug cartels.

Television images showed the scattered wreckage of the helicopter on a hillside south of the capital, and the government confirmed that Blake and all others on board were killed. It did not say what caused the crash.

“Scattered wreckage”. When a chopper loses power the pilot can try to gyro down. Unless this guys an idiot and slammed into the hillside this looks like a take down.
