A post-mortem examination of the helicopter crash that killed basketball star Kobe Bryant has ruled blunt force trauma as the cause of death for all nine victims.
The 180-page report also found that the pilot, 50-year-old Ara Zobayan, tested negative for drugs and alcohol.
The cause of the 26 January crash, which occurred in California amid heavy fog, is still being investigated.
Bryant’s 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, was with him on board the helicopter.
The passengers – which included two of Gianna’s basketball teammates, their relatives and a coach – were on their way to a tournament in Thousand Oaks where Bryant had been set to coach.
