The Los Angeles County coroner’s office provide a clinical but unvarnished look at just how brutal the crash was, describing broken bones, dismembered body parts and a stench of fuel on what remained of clothing that burned.

The claim was made in response to a lawsuit filed by Vanessa Bryant, accusing pilot Ara Zobayan and Island Express Helicopters of negligence.

Sheriff Alex Villanueva says those involved are being investigated and face possible disciplinary action.

Following the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, Vanessa Bryant requested the site become a "no-fly zone" to protect victims against photographers.

Kobe Bryant's memorial — just like his life — was a lesson in the power of love, Meera Estrada says.

"Early exposure to this type of trauma, when not resolved, is an indicator of later mental health disorders and suicidality," said one expert.

The lawsuit accuses pilot Ara Zobayan of eight counts of negligence resulting in the deaths of Kobe and Gianna Bryant.

Vanessa Bryant spoke publicly for the first time in an emotional address where she told the audience that her husband and daughter we inseparable.

The Kobe Bryant MVP Award will be presented on Sunday to the most valuable player at the end of the 2020 NBA All-Star Game in Chicago.

Bryant was on his way with his daughter and seven others to a youth basketball tournament on Jan. 26 when the helicopter they were in crashed in Calabassas, California.
