The bodies of Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, have been released to their family members by the Los Angeles Authorities.
The development comes a week after their helicopter went down killing both and seven others in California, Igbere TV reports.
“The remains of the 41-year-old NBA legend and his daughter were returned after confirmation of their identity and a cause of death was determined by investigators.
“The remains of the pilot, Ara Zobayan, and passengers Christina Mauser, 38, Sarah Chester, 45, and her 13-year-old daughter Payton, also have been released”, police spokesman said.
“Passengers John Altobelli, 56, his wife Keri, 46, and their daughter Alyssa, 14, are ready to be released but have not yet been picked up by family members, according to the coroner’s office.”
Altobelli had been a baseball coach at Orange Coast College, and Chester a girls’ basketball coach at Bryant’s Mamba Sports Academy.
