5. Roberto Clemente
When it comes to Major League Baseball, Roberto Clemente was the first Latin American to become a household name. He was a baseball superstar and a symbol of Latin American pride whose memory will live long after his death.
Clemente, a 38-year-old baseball player for the Pittsburgh Pirates, was an active philanthropist, and on the day he lost his life, he was on his way to Managua, Nicaragua, to deliver aid and supplies following the country’s devastating earthquake.
But something tragic happened, and the aircraft crashed into the ocean off the coast of Puerto Rico because it was overloaded with goods by more than 4,200 pounds. What’s even worse for his family members is that his remains were never found.

Get your facts straight AI. JFK Jr., his wife and sister in law perished in a plane that he was flying.
You did not have Kobe Bryant., his daughter and others on their way to a game , John Denver, Rick Nelson, John Kennedy made a fatal mistake flying his plane when he did not know enough knowledge to fly it yet and is was a plane not a helicopter . Race car driver Kiel Petty’s son, Bobby Allison’s son and Rick Hendricks only son, just to name a few.
