It has also been reported that the businessman who died was the first to gain a chopper licence in Turkey.

If I remember correctly there was another fatal chopper crash in Istanbul a couple of years ago. That also involved poor wx. conditions when it collided with a TV transmission mast.

We’ll need more info. Lightning and heavy rain on their own may influence a situation but are unlikely to be the cause on their own.
