LOS ANGELES — The bodies of Kobe Bryant and three other people killed when a helicopter crashed into a foggy Los Angeles-hillside on Sunday have been identified, the Los Angeles County coroner's office said Tuesday.
Fingerprints were used to confirm the identity of Bryant, 41, along with John Altobelli, 56, Sarah Chester, 45, and the pilot, 50-year-old Ara Zobayan, the Medical Examiner-Coroner reported.
While the department had not yet formally identified five other victims, relatives and acquaintances have identified them as Bryant's 13-year-old daughter, Gianna; Chester's 13-year-old daughter, Payton; Altobelli's wife, Keri, and daughter Alyssa; and Christina Mauser, a girls' basketball coach at a Southern California elementary school.
