Kobe & Gianna Bryant, as well as seven others, sadly lost their lives in a helicopter crash on January 26th in California. It's an accident that still has fans mourning the death of innocent people, as well as one of the biggest legends in the history of the NBA. Over the past few months, the families of the victims have been looking for answers as to how the crash could have happened.

While this may never be known, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner decided to release the autopsy reports for all nine victims, which gives some clarity on what happened to everyone. Everyone aboard the helicopter died on impact due to blunt trauma, which is what was already expected.

"On Jan. 28, the cause of death for all nine decedents was certified as blunt trauma. The manner of death was certified as accident," the autopsy reports say.

As of right now, the families of the victims are suing Island Express which is the company that owned the helicopter. A relative of the pilot has come out and said that it was the passengers' fault for what happened although many are skeptical of this accusation.
