Reports are coming in that New Zealand yachtsman Sir Peter Blake has been killed by pirates in the Brazilian Amazon, according to his agent.
Sir Peter twice led Team New Zealand to victory in yachting's Americas Cup, in 1995 and 2000.
In July of this year he was named as special envoy for the United Nations Environment Programme. It is thought he was travelling in the Amazon as part of his UN duties.
