"One passenger, a Singaporean, died in the accident while six other passengers and the four crew were injured, but none critically," Daryatmo said.
The injured were all Indonesians.
Daryatmo declined to further elaborate and did not say why civilian passengers had been on board. He was quoted by several media outlets as saying that the helicopter had been on a routine training flight.
Nasrul Edi, from a hospital in the provincial capital of Pekanbaru, some 80 kilometres (50 miles) from the crash site, said the victim was Singaporean company executive Robert Chandran.
"He was dead on arrival," Edi told AFP.

Sorry, i reffered to the last paragraf "The airforce's Daryatmo declined to speculate on the cause of the
accident, but said the helicopter had been flying in heavy rain and an
investigation was ongoing."
Perhaps..you could give me the right category for the story like this? Thanks Matte.
