Oliver Tree's family has confirmed that the late singer's body was returned to the United States on Sunday. However, the family or Tree's representatives have not shared when or where funeral services will be held.
Tree died on June 14 in a mid-air helicopter collision over Rio's Recreio dos Bandeirantes area, according to reports citing Brazilian authorities. Five others also died in the crash.
The family's immediate public focus is not on funeral arrangements but on carrying out one of Tree's last requests: creating an arts foundation called Dr Oliver Tree's Extremely Epic Grant For Baby Geniuses.
Representatives for the musician posted a message on Tree's Instagram page stating, “Thank you to everyone who has reached out, shown love, support, and has done incredible tributes for Oliver.”
The message continued, “The constant love, support and positivity is helping the family, friends and collaborators make it through these extremely difficult times.”
