Three bodies were first retrieved from the scattered wreckage on Sunday, the day of the crash. On Monday, the remaining six were located as the search resumed.



In a statement, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said the remains were ‘removed from the crash site and transported to the department’s forensic science center’ for examination and identification.



NBA legend, Kobe Bryant, 41, was traveling with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna to his Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks where his daughter was set to play. They died with seven others when the Sikorsky S-76 crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, northwest of Los Angeles.



Also killed were John Altobelli, 56, longtime head coach of Southern California’s Orange Coast College baseball team; his wife, Keri; and daughter, Alyssa, who played on the same basketball team as Bryant’s daughter.

Christina Mauser, a girls’ basketball coach at a Southern California elementary school also lost her life. Another young player, Payton Chester, was also killed in the crash along with her mother Sarah Chester.

The pilot, Ara Zobayan, 50, was the ninth victim.

The Investigators are expected to remain at the site of the crash throughout the week to collect evidence, with hope to find clues as to what caused the helicopter crash.

Nothing they inside this life....

Not true.
Life’s good, enjoy it why it last. If Kobe can look back he will be smiling down on us. He enjoyed his 41 years on earth or at least most of it as you should, don’t forget he left businesses and a mansion, would you say that he lived in vain? He contributed to basketball as much as the world at large, inspired so many people. That’s why you are here. When you live like you are going to die tomorrow you are going to live and die for nothing, probably pursue nothing and that thing you should have done may change the world for good.
