Provincial police said the chopper went down around 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday about 40 kilometres north of Sept-Îles, in the North Shore region.
The condition of the other two people on board the helicopter has not been confirmed by authorities.
Sgt. Claude Doiron of Quebec provincial police said given the state of the helicopter, it's unlikely those not transported to hospital survived.
In a release issued Wednesday afternoon, the Transportation Safety Board said it would be deploying a team of investigators to the site of "a fatal accident involving a Bell 206 helicopter" to collect information and try to determine what happened.

SGP owns a couple of choppers that he leases to other companies. He doesn't operate any of them himself.

That's odd. Usually the aircraft are registered to the entity with custody/control over the aircraft. I wonder what went on in this case then.
