The flight instructor who jumped to his death from a plane in Argentina was going through a \u2018difficult time\u2019 before he died.<\/p>\n

An unnamed 22-year-old student had been training along with her instructor, 42-year-old Leandro Bertazzo, over Toledo,\u00a0Argentina, on July 4, when he reportedly opened the window of the Cessna C150 plane and jumped.<\/p>\n

Leandro\u2019s father told the director of the Flying Parrot flying school, Eduardo Alvarez, that his son was going through a \u2018difficult time\u2019 before the tragedy.<\/p>\n

Alvarez added that Leandro\u2019s family told him he had a consultation at a psychiatric hospital every week before his death.<\/p>\n

Leandro lived along with his parents in Cordoba, Argentina, and was single with no children.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been remembered as a \u2018wonderful person\u2019 with a \u2018great smile and clear outlook on life\u2019.<\/p>\n
