Lito Sousa's farewell Wake held in São Paulo

Oct 1

Lara Fonseca reports Lito Sousa's wake that day at the Campo de Marte Aerospace Museum in northern São Paulo following his death the previous day at 59. She says he had received a Creutzfeldt–Jakob diagnosis about a month earlier and describes fans, friends and family paying respects. Her obituary identifies Joselito Geraldo de Sousa, born in Natal in 1967 and raised in Santos, more than 35 years in aircraft maintenance, the 2010 start of his YouTube channel Aviões e Músicas and his accessible explanations reaching millions. She says he leaves his wife Mila and seven-year-old son Maloni. This is a death-and-farewell account, without a separate medical investigation.

TV Brasil reports aviation communicator Lito Sousa's October 1 death in São Paulo at 59 and wife Mila Seidl's tribute. Its October 1 account describes an August Creutzfeldt–Jakob diagnosis and experimental treatment abroad; its October 2 account says he was diagnosed about a month earlier and reports that day's wake at Campo de Marte. The later report recalls his aircraft-maintenance career and Aviões e Músicas channel. He leaves his wife and seven-year-old son, according to the broadcasts. The differing diagnosis timings remain attributed.
