Very confusing as there have been two press-worthy helicopter accidents in recent days in Brazil and it seems you are mixing the two.
This one went down in the ocean between rigs and was probably an S76 given it was operated by Brazilian Helicopter Services (story in USA Today)
And this one was an A109S Grand registered PR-IPO crashed into the sea 500m offshore last Wednesday and the wreckage was found a few days later at the bottom of the ocean - see translated story here which includes "It is suspected that the strong wind and bad weather the night of Wednesday have contributed to the fall of the helicopter."
