Cessna Citation Bravo (CP-3243) crashes in Bolivia after loss of ATC contact and abnormal holding-pattern-like flight

A Cessna Citation Bravo registered CP-3243 crashed in central Bolivia on April 13, killing both pilots. Bolivia’s DGAC says the aircraft lost contact with air traffic control shortly after departing La Paz-El Alto for Santa Cruz-El Trompillo, following an abnormal pattern—reportedly multiple holding-pattern-like circles. Flight data and initial theories under investigation include possible pressurization failure and other physiological incapacitation possibilities.
