Police say the aircraft went down Wednesday night, in a remote mountainous area in the state of New Mexico, close to the border with Colorado.

Another passenger who was injured in the crash managed to get away and call for help.

It is unclear what Bennett was doing in New Mexico.

The 60 year-old Bennett was an activist for causes helping the poor and a fierce opponent of longtime president Robert Mugabe, who was forced to resign late last year.美國當局正在調查津巴布韋反對派高級領導人貝尼特在直升機墜毀中身亡的事件。一同遇難的還有貝尼特的妻子以及其他三人。
警方說，直升機星期三晚上在新墨西哥州偏遠山區墜毀，離科羅拉多州州界不遠。

直升機墜毀中有一人受傷，得以逃生，並打了求救電話。

目前還不清楚，貝尼特爲什麼會在新墨西哥州。

60歲的貝尼特是積極幫助窮人的活動人士，長期以來堅決反對穆加貝總統。穆加貝去年年底被迫辭職。
