A second passenger in a helicopter that crashed last week in New York City's East River has died, a hospital official said.
Helen Tamaki died Tuesday and had been in critical condition since the crash happened, Bellevue Hospital Duty Officer Frances Arscott told CNN.
The October 4 crash also killed Sonia Marra, a British citizen living in Sydney, Australia. Tamaki's death lowers the number of injured survivors to three.
A 15-member team from the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash, which left three other people injured.

Very sad.
Sucks.
"{the death] lowers the number of injured survivors to three" – what a stupid statement.
Correct are you. Intelligence that statement little had.
Was this meant to be a good news bad news story. Good news ... only 3 remained injured. Bad news... one person died.
"Tamaki's death lowers the number of injured survivors to three...which left three other people injured."
I think they forgot to mention that there are now three survivors. Gogo redundancy
