Morticians Talk Victims of Crime (Accident): Kobe Bryant
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 08. 2022
- As morticians we get asked about the condition of crime/accident victims bodies...
"Are they viewable?"
"How would we handle this case?"
"What would the body look like?"
Kari the Mortician, Ryan & Brian from Undertaking the Podcast, and professor John Hill will answer those questions and many more. In each episode several embalmers/morticians will talk about criminal cases of murder and unexplained deaths and how they would handle the deceased victims from those cases.
In this episode, Kari, Ryan, and John will be discussing the autopsy reports newly released on the accidental death of Kobe Bryant. Weigh in by commenting below!
Many people have looked at the aspects of the case, but we will discuss caring for the victim and the sad task that laid before the funeral directors who cared for them.
Warning things may be discussed that are disturbing to some people. We do not show photos from the case but many are available if you google the victim's name.

Yes. Poof they are gone. My beautiful 19 year old son was t-boned by a semi truck going 75 miles an hour at a poorly designed intersection. His Volkswagen Jetta immediately burst into flames. Before his service I got to lay on top of his contorted body in a body bag. I remember the funeral home was so hopeful I would get to at least see his hand or his foot or something….but no. I can’t even describe how much that sweet kid means to me. I called him my best boy in the world. When I heard of this accident with Kobe Bryant and his gorgeous daughter and others…..I instantly thought I can relate somewhat as to what is going on in relation to how horrific the injuries must be to the bodies. I have an unbelievable amount of respect and gratitude for everyone who works in the funeral industry in any capacity because you help us all at the most devastating time of our lives. Thank you so very much to you all. Paolo Antonio Siciliano 7-1-1998 / 7-7-2017 He really was the best boy in the world to me and I miss him with my whole heart and soul. His obituary is still on line I think on Legacy…..I can’t help but still be such the proud mom. Man I miss that kiddo.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how you felt then and now. God bless
My heart is hurting for you. As a mother...I can not imagine. Thank you for your story. I feel it will help so many. Bless you 🙏
If I could reach through the screen and hug you I would.
I wish I could offer some comfort to you. I lost my brother, my only sibling in a car accident. It was a hit and run which further added to our grief and the driver of the other vehicle was never found. The anniversary of his death is next month and I always go into a depression in September.
I am so sorry I bet he was the best boy in the whole world! ((Hugs))
Way back, many years ago. On the month I was born. My dad was killed in a motorcycle accident. He was thrown from the machine and hit by oncoming traffic. He was only 23 years old. By the expertise of the funeral home, my mom was able to have an open casket at his wake and funeral. It was very important to her. She said he was a little bruised and you could see a little swelling on his face, but she was so relieved that she could see him. What you guys do is SO important. I have heard from both of my grandma’s that this literally kept my mom alive after his death. So, thank you for what you do💖
Thank you for sharing this!!
I have a dear friend whose beautiful daughter passed in a car crash. She had not a single mark on her body. All injuries were internal, you would think she was only sleeping
Thank you for sharing
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend's daughter. That had to be so difficult. I hope she finds peace, love and comfort that only God can give.
I find these videos very comforting. When my beloved younger brother died at his own hands, we couldn't view. He wasn't found for 3 weeks so was in a bad state. His remains were treated with great respect. I'm at peace knowing that he was so loved and his body was well cared for.
Thank yoU!!
My condolences.it’s sad when that happens
I’m so sorry, Elizabeth. Condolences
I'm so very sorry 😞
I'm so sorry for your loss. That had to be so difficult.
Kobe's body was in pieces, his brain was separated from his head. His body from the from his waist down was torn away from him. The autopsy is pretty graphic so I'll just let the video tell the rest, but death was instantaneous for all involved. I'm a Retired Nurse who worked in the ED and My Husband was a Police Officer in LA. I honestly don't believe they knew what hit them ( for a better lack of words ) I feel that it was all over very quickly and there was no time to register what was happening. My Husband was murdered six years ago so I understand sudden and tragic loss. I'm sure hospital personnel reassured them that it was painless for all involved. Rest in peace to all that have been loss to us.❤️💔❤️
God bless you
I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your friendly.
I hear he did not even get the worst injuries, the Mauser woman and Altobelli girl had the worst apparently.
His right arm was amputated, his spine at the neck was torn open and skull was crushed I’ve heard
@ Kari the Mortician thank you and your guests for this video and answering so many of our questions and concerns! You are so awesome!
You are so welcome!
Great video! Thank you for doing this; very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Enjoyed hearing all of you! Your knowledge and education and feelings and you do help all people at a very hard time of their life!
Thank you!
Thank you. Another informative video that highlights just how amazing and caring you all are! ❤️
Thank you so much!
I've had my share of helicopter & plane crash cases. I've learned to respect the needs & wishes of families. In these cases, I knew there would be a media circus & the family's privacy would be crucial. With social media being an area of concern lately, only certain key employees would be allowed to be around high profile decedents. Cell phones would need to be surrendered & any use of cameras would be authorized & monitored only by families. Images today can be easily leaked & all steps are taken to keep this from happening. Celebrities families are made aware of how gravesites & crypts can be desecrated by fans & wrong doers looking for attention, so some interments are made a secret. Great subject.
thank you for sharing!
so sad that we, as a society, don’t have more respect
Great insight, and I appreciate the respect you make sure your staff upholds! Thank you for your professionalism! 👍
I worked at Duke as a secretary for the Trauma team when Lifeflight went down. It was so heartbreaking.
Thank you for sharing this!
Great video. You guys are awesome.
Thank you!
Lost a precious lady Monday. She was hit by a train...2 engine ...one hundred car train. She was 75. Her funeral is Saturday. I'm devastated 💔
Very sad :(
so sorry for your loss
@@susiepummill9391 Thank you so much. Thank you for taking time to send a note. You are precious.
Horrible! It takes a train one mile to come to a stop. Never walk on train tracks and always stop your vehicle at railroad crossings.
Pray for the crew on the train that hit this lady.
I lost my fiancee 3 and a half weeks ago and I was the only person to see his body as it was a direct cremation. I am sooo glad i got to hold him and hug him. I couldnt see my brother when he jumped to his death from his 7th story balcony 21 years ago. I always wondered if he REALLY died since I couldnt see his body. Btw his cremains weighed 12 lbs.
Big hugs to you
so sorry to hear if your two losses. What a blessing you had the opportunity to connect with your fiancé in that way. I am also absolutely shocked to hear the remains would weigh that much-
but I’ve never thought about that specifically
Very good discussion. Good job guys.
Thanks for watching, Renee.
I respect you guys so much
Thank you
Hi Kari....My first husband died in an awful truck accident. He burnt so badly, he had no ears, eyes, fingers, hair. The only patch of skin was on the inside of his left knee, he was in a fetal position. My children & I had no closure. I wasn't allowed to see him, pictures or his truck. I found the junk yard & within
mins. I found his truck, not much left of that either.
I did bury his body, the funeral director said he had to preserve him & wrapped him. I also had to buy a casket that sealed.
My question is do you have any idea how they could preserve him?? It was such a blur at the time 1987....I may have done some things differently but I'm not sure?
I just wish our kids & I had closure. Could there have be closure? They did have to identify him thru dental records.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for you taking the time to explain everything you do & to answer questions.
Many Blessings, Phoebe
Big hugs to you!!
From what you are saying it does not sound like there was much of him to make viable for viewing.
I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you and your children eventually found closure.
I'm so sorry to you and your children. I don't think you should burden yourself, thinking about what you may have done differently. How can any loving family even begin to cope w/such a tragedy to think about anything else but the loss of their loved one, let alone have the presence of mind to arrange for your loved one's funeral.
It's only human nature to wish you could have done more. I think you showed incredible strength to show such concern for your husband's remains and to face seeing the wreckage of your husband's vehicle.
I think if your husband read your comments, he would not want you to carry this burden. He would see how much you loved him and would want you and your children to cherish his memory and have peace in your life.
He'd be so proud you have taken such good care of your children as a loving mother and his loving wife. I wish you and your children peace. 💓🌺May your beloved husband RIP.🌹❤
Strong beautiful woman ❤️
Yes, it was a complete gut punch for me, when Kobi, and Gianna died. And it was ALSO SO TRAGIC, hearing about all the other people that were on board the helicopter. They talked about all of them. So in that respect, I’m glad they were all honored. 35:40
thank you
I'm a brand new subscriber. Very interesting and fascinating. Much love from Texas.
Thanks and welcome
Texas here too
This is so sad on so many levels. It's comforting to me that most of them most likely died instantly and that they didn't suffer. I feel badly for all who knew them. I'm not a basketball fan, but it still saddens me when anyone dies like this whether it be a major star or an ordinary person like me. I give all of you credit for being able to do what you do. I've always been curious as to what Funeral Directors/Embalmers did in their occupation. Some people don't understand how much goes into preparing a loved one for burial. I never knew how much was involved. The level of schooling involved boggles my mind. Thank you for taking care of these deceased loved ones of those who lost them. Your job is important.
So true
My hope is that others feel the same way. @@KaritheMortician
Kari i really enjoy and appreciate you and your friends taking the time to make these videos and explain to us what goes on behind the scenes at funeral homes and these horrible scenes. But me being the curious person that i am and knowing how crazy things does happen would be like emitt till's mom and want to see my loved ones body in full to make sure that its them and to see what really happened to them before they were cleaned up or whatever else.
Thank you
I feel the same way!! Emmit Till's mom was very brave to have an open casket for her son who was horribly mutilated by his murderers!!
Been to Graceland twice and it's a awesome place. The history of his place and see and his stuff is awesome. Great video you guys. Very respectfully done. Y'all are good together
I like all you can do is try..... Try try try
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello from Rolla Missouri I enjoy all of your videos
Thank you!
Hi,, I lost my dad three weeks ago of lung cancer! I've been estranged from him for 8 years because it was his choice! My cousin came to tell me he has passed away, and I had no idea he had cancer! He could have came to me any time he wanted to and that was my last word to him 8 years ago! I saw him twice in the cemetery when I was at my mum's grave and he at his brothers grave! He ment what he sead when he sead I'm finished with you ! My door was always open for him to come back into my life but he never did! I chose not to go to the funeral home or to the funeral because I don't think for one minute he would have wanted me there! This is a sad situation but I know I'm not the only person this happens to! The funeral was for those he wanted and I could not place my self there,
Big hugs to you!!
That’s very sad Amanda.
His loss though. I don’t understand why people do this, but, ultimately he was the victim of his own actions by not staying in your life
@@susiepummill9391 thankyou for your kindness! You can't make someone love you or want you! I'm his only daughter and he's missed out on his only grandson as well! We did not ask for what he did because I only addressed him about using bad language to my son and his bullying ways, and he didn't like to be told about it! It's not something I'd say to my loved ones, me and my son were gutted by what he did! We went through a grieving process 8 years ago and now gone through this again now he's passed away! We will now get on with are lives again without him! As time goes on it gets easier or it will do, I feel so sad for him because he's got a lovely grandson, and yes it's his loss! Thankyou again and God bless you,
Parents should be the bigger person. They brought you into this world..
John I live in Knoxville Tn and we had a medic helicopter crash here like the one you described around 15 years ago lost nurses and medical personnel
Thank you
Great Chat
Thank you!
Hello from Texas Kari, Ryan and John. 💕💙♥️🕊😇
Hello!
180 mph crash yea even a 90 mph car crush is gory but the helicopter crash...I read that Gianna lost legs, Kobe lost an arm...Alyssa Altabelli was almost decapatated....very gruesome indeed.
Agreed
I've watched this channel for quite a while now & I love it. The only thing I could possibly say that might make it a tad bit better is to not insert so many commercials. I understand that is how you get paid so I'm not saying to demonetize it, perhaps just not so many commercials. 🥰😊
We do not control the commercials at all. It is all CZcams and Google Adsense sadly
Even without monetizing they insert commercials.
Do you guys remember in the 80's a documentary like movie series called 'Faces of Death' It was real footage of death. There was the aftermath of a plane crash. It showed pieces of bodies in several mile radius. They had reports of people finding a hand in their yard & pieces of skin & bone on their backyard patio sliding doors.. Gruesome stuff!
Very little footage from FoD was real. Any footage that was real was presented out of context. It was never meant to be a real documentary, as it was produced for japanese theaters for pure entertainment.
Yes I refused to watch it
I remember that! I'm 39 in a few days and I had to watch as part of drivers education. My lord!
is this crash about the plane that crashed in San Diego they were going to land and it hit the bridge which was very close to the airport.? I grew up in San Diego and was dating this guy his sister found body parts in her pool she lived close to the freeway and she was really bad they had to take her to the E.R and she was never the same after that they moved out of state that's how bad it affected her mental health when this happened I believe she was in her late 40. I was a teenager after that I never went back to her house or just that area it was just unbelievable and sad. it's hard to describe everything.
I live in the San Fernando valley in Los Angeles the helicopter flew over my old apartment near the van nuys airport who was in contact with Kobe’s pilot for a brief period . They crashed into a mountain off las virgenes road in calabasas only 20 min drive on the freeway from where I live now . I was on las virgenes road last week with my brother running some errands it gave me chills knowing that those hills/mountains above the road were where Kobe and 8 others took their last breath . Might hike up there to see the crash site and also see the memorial fans made for them on the site .
Very interesting story, thanks for the Research. Another Awesome story To follow wood be how Mr Billy Grahams service was carried out especially with security and The media
Thanks for watching Keith, and for the suggestion.
I think that seeing that loved one .. be it face , hand , tattoo,, whatever it may be .. is the closure or maybe the confirmation from our hearts need for acceptance ..
Agreed
Regarding the EMT/Brian’s comments about what the deceased experienced before impact, I wish he had informed himself more that they blindly flew at high speed directly into the hillside and probably didn’t know of the upcoming impact.
thanks
Thank you for an interesting and informative video; very interesting indeed. I have been present and parcipated at many embalmings, etc.which would also also entail facial or other reconstruction of varying degrees. it's very artistic and talented work and finding qualified and really good talent for that sort of thing is very expensive. Basically, anything is doable, however.
Yes, you are correct. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

There is actually footage of the accident scene _before_ the bodies were removed. IIRC it was filmed by a news chopper that did not immediately recognize that the deceased were still on scene. Eventually they DO realize, and you can see that moment of recognition for the camera operator in the way he responded with his equipment, i.e sudden jerky movement and sloppy fast zoom out. The damage to the bodies was so severe that it made them difficult to distinguish from mechanical debris-especially from the air. Because this clip is so easily accessible and plainly identified I feel like it was likely being livestreamed by news media which is often the case. Once it was understood that remains were still on scene obviously the stream was ended and then removed. But as they say, the internet is forever.
I know there was discussion in a comment thread of a re-upload of the stream (either reddit or YT) where users were comparing the footage before the remains were noticed to the footage after the remains were covered by blue tarps to identify/plot human remains on the original footage.
I had not seen that
You are the 2nd person I've read about to post a comment saying that they saw bodies in the wreckage of the accident on CNN!! One woman said that the camera zoomed in close to the wreckage and she said she was Sure that she actually saw Kobe's body! I don't know about that, but she did say that she saw bodies at scene and that at the time she caught the news story, no one knew it was Kobe Bryant in the helicopter, the news was just covering a crash.
Thanks
Welcome
I think there were 2 main mechanisms of injury for Kobe - the initial crash into the ground which caused the head and Brain injury and then the rotating blades assembly which is what caused the amputations and the open neck fracture.
Thank you!
RYAN I was so sorry to hear that your dad has passed away. I will be praying for you and your family. Hope you are going as well as you can at this time. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. Keep GOD in your life and he will be there to help you through this difficult time.
thank you
Whether your not sure what happened its great to get info. Or in your expertise what could've killed him is still great info.
Thank you!
I visit cemeteries as well Ryan! Although, mostly local here in Utah. A lot of Pioneer history. I would love to someday, go to St. Louis, and track down the gravesite, of my Great great grandfathers sister, who died when she was thirteen, and beloved of my greasy grandfather, he never got over her death, and he became a drinker. He spent a lot of time in jail, and many years later he took his own life. He is buried here in the Salt Lake City, Cemetery. Despite his struggles he became a successful horticulturist and he and his father were responsible for planting all the trees around the City and County Bldg. In Downtown SLC, and if I’m correct, most of the trees in Liberty Park. In SLC as well. However, Mental illness was apart of his life, and alcoholism played a major role. He NEVER GOT OVER, the death of his beloved sister, Mary Ann.
Which brings me back to my desire to find where she is buried, in St. Louis. I feel a VERY STRONG KINSHIP, to MaryAnn. The reasons around her death, aren’t exactly clear in our Family History/Genealogy. We have a few pictures of MaryAnn, where she looks like she may have had some sort of disability. In one picture, of her together with Joseph Hyrum, my great grand father, (or maybe I’ve already said great, great. (Sorry) it appears that he, may be holding her head up. Mary Ann appears to have had a larger than normal head. It has been our hypothesis, that perhaps she had developed Hydrocephalus. Which was untreatable in those days. (I was born with hydrocephalus, and they were just learning how to treat it back when I was born. I’m not sure what her disability was, but I have my theories based on my own very complicated history.
I also believe her grave is not in it’s original place, berthed cemetery may have been moved(???) so I really need to do some serious research before hitting the ground. I believe I have a cousin living in the area, who could provide me with some of the info.
(So sorry this was such a LONG POST, about nothing related to the topic, but I picked up on Ryan’s comment about visiting cemeteries, and RAN WITH IT!
RIP KOBE, Gianna, and all the other beautiful people who lost their lives in such a horrible way. ❤
Nice!
I actually worked at a Funeral Home many years ago in the office and I did get to see the embalming procedure first hand, and I understand how important it is to get to see your loved one one final time... For me it's almost like the death isn't real until you see that person.. My wonderful stepdad suddenly past away in 2021 and he wanted to just be cremated but I needed to see him before so I could know it was real
Agreed
I got to give it to you morticians because it sounds like you care about what you do and unfortunately there are a lot who don’t. When my wife passed away because of heart issues, she was taken to a mortuary here in San Antonio and relative said they did not do her justice. I could not gaze my eyes upon her because of that she was not only a beautiful woman, but she was a beautiful soul, we were married 25 years. I think now that I have a son and a daughter from her, losing them would be the cause of my demise. I don’t know how you guys do it, but losing a child I think it’s the hardest thing a parent could ever go through trying to restore a child, I don’t see how y’all do it, and keep a sane mind. God bless you guys for the job. Well done that you do.
Hello from Leopoldsburg Belgium 🇹🇩
Hello!
Hi 👋🏼 Belgium! 🇧🇪
We were at my great niece's first birthday party & watched it all play out on TV, like millions of others, so sad.
Would love to see Dale Earnhardt next. Maybe some of the challenges that the publicity caused. Also, talking about the family tree, I went on Findagrave and found graves of my grandparents (I knew where they were), great grandparents, and great great grandparents. Oddly enough, all together. I found more but the cemetery was back up in the mountains up a dirt road and there was a meth looking trailer there at it so I figured I should leave lol.
:)
I thought this was going to be about Kobe Bryant's victims that everyone forgot about🤷♂️
...
Nope. Don’t even know their names. Just Kobe and Gianna.
I hate how with cremation, so many don’t have resting places and sit on mantles or spare rooms. We always visited cemeteries we we took family vacations.
So true
You needed Caleb Wilde in there. He wrote the book ‘Confessions Of A Funeral Director”. He would’ve been a great guest.
Maybe at some point
The first block of educating a new student on whether it's driving, flying or simply bicycling is that your body is no match for tangled steel and metal. The outcome is usually not "pretty." Please be careful. Don't we all love one another? ♥️🤔
:)
I hope they didn't know anything. As humans its hard to think of other human bodies with those kinds of injuries even if it was totally painless. they were all talking and laughing and then it just stops. Being alive is weird. We really have zero idea what we are. We're just a tiny little speck in the universe. Growing old and seeing how our bodies change is weird. Goes so fast
I just want to think that they never saw it coming... The pilot didn't realize he was descending,(thought he was climbing) he didn't sound distressed so I don't think he realized what was going to happened until maybe right before the impact
I hope
Spatial Disorientation is what the NTSB investigation reported. I am also guessing the passengers also would have been disoriented, therefore never knowing what was about to happen. They never saw it coming
Kari, Nan Holmes asked a question during the live chat about what happens if no one in the family wants our cremated remains. She said both her and her husband are being cremated. Can't that be taken care of by the funeral director entering the remains in a burial space you own? I had my dad's cremated remains buried in the lot that had 2 burial spaces in the space beside my mom. This cemetery allows 4 sets of remains in each burial space. Thanks for your videos.
They can be thrown out or scattered or buried
@@KaritheMortician my sister looked online and you had to own the land or have permission from the land owner for scattering. Not sure if this was for Iowa or Missouri because we were discussing scattering his remains. The cemetery where we entered his remains is in Iowa and i live in Missouri. Thanks again for all you do to inform us. Best wishes.
I had heard they were sealed in thick plastic due to injuries.
And they use that think plastic due to the smell, crackling/oozing of the body parts so nothing gets lost/more damaged
possibly
patsy cline died in a small plane. they only found her torso and foot.i cant even imagine...
Ugh, I never heard that!
I had not heard those specifics
Lord have mercy
Hi from Bronx NY
Hello!
I have absolutely NO problem respecting the privacy of a celebrity and their loved ones when they die.
You can express your condolences and love via social media.
I actually live not far from where Tammy Terrell is buried. And mere feet from her grave is one of a famous Blues singer lady, who actually was inspiration to Billie Holiday.
I also saw a photo of Lisa Left Eye Lopez in her casket at her viewing, and I was dismayed that her hair wasn't done, and no Mortuary makeup was done. You could see the bruising on her head and face from the trauma she received in the car accident which killed her.
It was upsetting but, MAYBE it was how she wished her funeral to go. She was also wearing the cutest pink jammies with little monkey faces all over. As long as her wishes were honored, I can look past the shock of her appearance.
thank you
We had a couple of helicopters crash here on the Gold Coast Australia a few months ago. With a few survivors. 60 mins talked to them. Very sad but interesting to hear their account from Mother and her 12 yearold son🤔
I woke up from a nap to see it on TV so i instantly thought i woke up to a bad dream😞
Thank you
Same here! I was asleep and woke up to it.
@@feleshajones2982 I wish it was all a dream😭.... Why did he have to go out like that😭
@@rethablair6902 my husband and son are huge Laker fans. And the messed up part is…it happened on my sons 17th birthday. Being from LA we were devastated! I mean the entire city just crashes right along with them. My son was a mess! We’ve been to so many games and have so many great photos of him! We just wanted to hug Vanessa…I mean what else could we do?
@@feleshajones2982 I'm so sorry😣
Will you do one on Anne Heche?
There is not much info to do one
I’ve seen deceased individuals where they looked more or less “normal” for lack of a better word and some deceased that did not even look close to “normal”. My uncle was a mortician so I know a bit more than some and all I can say most morticians try very hard to do their best but they are not miracle workers and no one should expect them to be.
Yes its hard because they will take the fault when they didn't have much to work with
Kobe and Michael Jordan both extraordinary athletes and human beings!
Indeed!
LeBron too
Jordan fans have to bring him up every opportunity 🙄
I remember where I was I was at home and I read it on Google that Kobe died I immediately confirmed that it was true I'm a die hard Lakers fan grew up watching Kobe and Shaq RIP Mamba and Gianna and everyone who was on-board that helicopter
Addressing Mr. Paul H below, what is wrong with a mortician wearing a muscle shirt on his day off and participating in a podcast? Funeral directors, embalmers and undertakers in general are real people who have real lives. Do I think a muscle shirt would be appropriate during a funeral or meeting with a family, no but these people should be allowed to be themselves and let their hair down on their days off. These people deal with death daily and the pressure does get to some. When they get off work and go home they still answer the phone anytime of night when called, sometimes multiple times during the night so give these guys a break.
I kinda see your point, but I lean towards the commenter who said the muscle shirt was inappropriate. This guy is a funeral director and that title carries a lot of weight. I don't think he needed to wear a suit and tie, but a nice button down shirt would have been nice, or even a polo shirt would have been better than the muscle shirt. I appreciate all of the hard work that funeral directors and their staff do.
This is a casual talk. I feel they are trying to be casual.
I am ok with the muscle shirt, but would prefer to have no ball cap… or at least have it backward, I cannot see his facial expressions, and find that getting a clearer view of those expressions would help understand not only his words, but his point of view on some things.
@@rucianapollard7098 But he's not promoting his business, he's not promoting anything quite frankly.
Hell, he's not even being paid for this. It's nothing more than 3 friends discussing their opinions.
CZcams is a job. He was doing another job he’s got. And I don’t know if somebody up there said well. Well I can’t remember. The funeral business is only about money, whether it’s a funeral home, a cemetery, a crematorium, or a CZcams channel. You gotta pay attention to the details, James Strickland.
I watched the 500 that day. The hit into the wall didn't seem that .I wouldn't want to see him at autopsy I wonder how the would put him back together
I believe he was not bad was the internal head pressure from the speed
There was THREE children not TWO!
Thank you
It was mentioned about the fall down and what they may have been thinking or saying. I honestly don’t think anyone even knew it happened. I believe the helicopter hit the side of the mountain and it was over. I don’t even know if the helicopter pilot knew with the fog and or weather conditions. Very tragic, RIP all that were in the helicopter.
Two excellent analyses of Kobe’s crash were those done by The Flight Channel and blancolirio (Juan Browne).
@@spiritmatter1553 thanks for sharing.
They definitely died on impact, they didn't suffer
Thanks for sharing this information and for watching.
@@KaritheMortician your so welcome
Unfortunately I have heard the very descriptive way a person could die from bft
My was in a car accident with three other youths his same age. To look at him he looked perfect from the outside, but they used laserated, torn, punctured, shredded among other horrific injury descriptions. All four kids died with several degrees of external injuries, but a lot of the same descriptions
Ironically the car didn’t look like it had a quadruple fatality.
It happened April, 14, 2006
In Del Norte county California, just for reference you are welcome to research.
Oh goodness very sad

One of the funeral home directors said that Kobe and his daughter were cremated, but they weren't they were buried in a cemetery somewhere outside of LA. Also, he mentioned that the grave was very elaborate. Kobe and his daughter were entombed in a mausoleum. It is not marked, so no one can visit it, or someone might see it, but not know that Kobe and his daughter are buried there. There is a grave sight in the same cemetery that people have speculated was Kobe's final resting place, but a family came forward to say that it was their daughter's grave, and it had been there before Kobe passed away.
We went with our senior group to Forest Lawn in Glendale or Burbank. Michael Jackson is in a large building and no one can enter only family.
thank you
@@ermanillegibbons305 yes, Michael's resting place is not available to the public. I hate it because I would love to visit and put flowers on his grave, but I understand why the family chose a private place for him. Michael was sought after and hounded since he first got into the music industry at age 8. All of the accusations about child molestation, his plastic surgery, Everything about that poor man was scrutinized by the public. At least he can finally be at peace. RIP Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer of all time!!
Not commenting on whether they were cremated, but being buried doesn't rule it out. I will be cremated and buried in the plot next to my deceased husband.
@@0839westy okay that makes sense. I had my father cremated and I spread his ashes over my brother's grave.
In our small community in NC we had a private plane crash in February. My family was on the plane. A mother and son together took his friends hunting and they lost everyone immediately obviously but they crashed off of "home" if you look at the map
Oh wow. Thank you for sharing!!
@@KaritheMortician it's a story I wish I didn't have to share :( only one body was intact. It was so devastating to our small community and family
At my father's funeral it was a closed Casket and my mother's funeral it was open both natural deaths I can honestly say my father's funeral was much easier to be there and mourn than my mother's service
I’m sorry for the loss of both of your parents. ❤
@@katslulu thank you
So much smoke and Daly I saw the pictures of him I stumbled upon I didn’t want to at all
Very sad
How did you see pictures of Kobe post mortem?? Those aren't on social media.
My grandson was born on the day Elvis died,an my granddaughter was born on Elvis's birthday.
Oh wow!
My nephew was born on Elvis birthday
Hello everybody ! hug from France, in France on march 2015, a pilot of German wings airlines suicide himself front of an Alpes de Haute Provence moutain, killing 149 ... the biggest human part recovered on the site was half a femur ... planes crashes are the most destructive accidents.
Big hugs to you
Jesus. In thinking of not only of Kobi Bryant, and the others the parents, but thos kids. I cannot imagine, how frightened they were and there parents, trying to comfort them in their last moments.
May they all RIP. 🕊🌹✝️✌🏽
Heartbreaking
?
There were absolutely no confronting with the parents to there children the plane hit the of the mountain and boom they were gone when the plane fell straight down in a free fall they were either unconscious or dead . lt had happen so fast they may have reacted 😮but speak of anything it just didn't happen at all.❤❤
Earnhardt had the internal decapitation. I read his autopsy. I have also been a graveyard freak since about age 8 or 9. Usually love the history.
Yes
Earnhardt who? Dale?
What’s an internal decapitation?
Can you do pricess Diana...if you haven't already. TY
What hurts the most is knowing that Kobe was such a beautiful physical specimen and it was all destroyed in this crash
:)
I hadn't thought about that, but he was!! He was very athletic and to hear that his body endured traumatic amputations, it's just to much thinking about him like that. I wish they never released the autopsy reports.
They are gone. Why all the secrecy? The most people could do is clutter up the burial sight with remembrances.
But that's why Cemetery maintenance personnel have a job. Why deprive fans of paying their respect?
Yeah who knows
It would be nice to be able to pay our respects, but there are some sick people out there, who may want to deface the grave, or steal the headstones. I think I understand why Vanessa made the decision to have unmarked graves. RIP to them all
Because unfortunately it takes all kinds and there are still people out there who would grave rob.
There are a number of celebrities whose burial sites are on private property and off limits to the public. Princess Diana for one, and Andy Griffith is another
I didn't know about Andy!
@@KaritheMortician yes! I just rechecked to make sure I was right about that, he is buried on his family’s private estate in North Carolina, and a very odd thing, he was in the ground five hours after he passed. No one seems to know why.
I think that with a small twin engine airplane or helicopter that because their isn't alot of protection to guard from injuries sustained after a crash and survival rate....of victims.....
Very true!
You guys should check out the movie called the identical. Its about elvis. Very interesting.
We will!
Did they release the autopsy of the others on the helicopter?
Yes on Reddit it's terrible 😔
Im a die hard Kobe Bryant fan/follower.
I know everything about him..
I was playing NBA 2k20 of course as Kobe mostly...
I went off for 81 with him.. went to show my brother (whom also grew up watching Kobe) an it popped up on my phone.
I cried for weeks..
RIP Black Mamba! 🖤
Thank you for joining the conversation!
I feel its a huge blessing in dying instantly. Like when richie valenz, the big bopper, and buddy holly. They died on my brothers birthday. They were the same ages of my brothers. Have you or has anyone done a commentary on plane crashes. And how do you deal with so many people on planes and then you have body parts everywhere. God be with you guys having to work in your field.
This meant the world to understand, seeing is believing. What that meant.
thank you
I WAS A DOOR'S FAN TOO
Awesome!!
I saw on CZcams that some coroner or someone said.That is not elvis presley's body in that casket?
In a helicopter or plane crash,it's pretty amazing he had any limbs left.they weren't even aware of what was happening.i think the pilot was the only one that had his limbs,think he was thrown out the cockpit window or something
He said what about the way down. The helicopter hit the side of a hill and these people probably died just then and didnt see anything because of the fog. So didnt know it was going to happen and never felt anything.
Hopefully , all souls are at peace with God.
Thanks for watching.
Don't forget Gail King who, shortly after Kobe's death, interviewed someone who knew Kobe and asked her about the past ra*e scandal he was embroiled in. It did not go over well in the court of public opinion and Gail then answered to the criticism she received by going to Oprah for the interview to explain herself (because she knew she'd have a sympathetic ear).
yeah its easy to trash talk someone who can't talk back
People can go upstairs in Graceland, just not in Elvis’s bedroom. Only two actors have had full access everywhere upstairs.
I read the autopsy reports. Wishing now I hadn't.
:(
:-( wow unbelievable
When there is a murder whatever, the body itself is evidence often it cannot be moved for many hours, often in the elements. A lot can happen in a short space of time.
Yes very true
Like airplane wings helicopters can slow their decent with what is called auto-rotation, however, they believe the pilot of Kobe's aircraft was suffering from what is called spatial disorientation and thought he was climbing up to get above the fog layer so was still giving the helicopter full power but unbeknownst to him he was going down in a spiral decent so the occupants were more substantially injured by the increasing speed of the aircraft at impact. RIP everyone on board.
I can't imagine how confusing that moment had to be for the pilot
His legs and feet were separated from his body, his arms were also broken off, and he also burned to a crisp,, they all did,,the damage done to All was very intense,,beyond recognition
thank you
As far as them being aware that they were going to crash, because of the fog, the pilot didn't even know what was happening. The fog was too thick. So I don't think they had any idea, thank God. 😢
