I actually genuinely hope that this is the way the narrative goes with Chico - I don't want him to have died in the chopper crash. You offer good reasons for why you believe Chico is Octopus. Based on some comments I read during the early days of Phantom Pain, this theory has been around for a while. I'm not ruling out the theory, but I do find it unusual. Largely because Octopus was such a minor character, and Chico has so much backstory compared to other characters.

However things play out, I don't believe Chico died in the chopper crash. As others such as Yong Yea have claimed, the chopper may not have even crashed at all.
