There were five passengers, including the pilot.
This misstates the occupancy of the AS350. Brazilian authorities' manifest listed four passengers and one pilot, not five passengers including the pilot.
Full reasoning
Reports based on the manifest provided by Brazilian authorities say Oliver Tree's helicopter had three other passengers and the pilot in addition to Tree — i.e. four passengers total plus one pilot, not "five passengers, including the pilot."
CBS News, citing Brazilian authorities, states: "There were three other passengers in Tree's helicopter and the pilot." That means the pilot was counted separately from the passengers. The article's own infobox also separately lists Passengers: 4 and Crew: 1, which matches the manifest-based reporting and contradicts this sentence.

Police said that Tree was on the list of passengers handed to aviation authorities... There were three other passengers in Tree's helicopter and the pilot. The other helicopter carried only the pilot, according to the manifest provided by Brazilian authorities.
Passenger of the Bell 206
The Bell 206 did not carry a passenger; its sole occupant was the pilot Charles Marsillac.
Full reasoning
This heading is incorrect because the Bell 206 was not carrying a passenger. Contemporary reports based on the Brazilian authorities' manifest say the other helicopter carried only the pilot. In other words, Charles Marsillac was the Bell 206's sole occupant and pilot, not a passenger.
