Posted byMicaela ChenPosted inUncategorized

Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven other people killed in a helicopter crash last month in Calabasas, California, have been released to their families, according to the website for the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner.

Last week, the coroner’s office announced that it had officially identified all nine victims killed in the January 26 crash.

In addition to Bryant, 41, and his daughter, 13, the crash claimed the lives of Payton Chester, 13; Sarah Chester, 45; Alyssa Altobelli, 14; Keri Altobelli, 46; John Altobelli, 56; Christina Mauser, 38; and the helicopter’s pilot, Ara Zobayan, 50.
    The cause of death for all nine victims was determined to be blunt force trauma, and the manner of death was certified as accident, according to the coroner’s office.
    The group was expected at the Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks for a basketball game on the day the helicopter crashed about 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.

    911 caller said the aircraft was ‘thick in clouds’

    On Monday, the Los Angeles County Fire Department released audio from five 911 calls it received at the time of the deadly crash.
    Callers described hearing a boom and seeing flames.

    “It went over my head,” one caller told dispatchers. “It’s thick in clouds. I heard a pop and it immediately stop.”
    Another caller said he did not see the helicopter, but heard a crash.
    “I’m walking on the trail, I could hear the plane. I think it was in the clouds,” the caller said. “We couldn’t see it and then we just heard a boom and a dead sound and then I could see the flames.”
    Other callers, farther away from the crash site, said they saw a hill engulfed in fire following the impact.
