As we reported, the NTSB has not released the exact cause of the tragic helicopter accident, but they did ask the public for help with any photographs of the weather in the area at the time of the crash.

It has not been announced if any official memorial for the NBA legend will be held by the Los Angeles Lakers or members of the league. But, it was reported the event may be so big, they are looking for other venues besides Staple's Center.

The Coroner's office had the terrible job of identifying all of the victims on board the helicopter and weren't immediately able to to it all at once. Last week they released an update saying, "On Sunday afternoon, personnel from the department’s Special Operations Response Team (SORT) recovered three bodies from the helicopter wreckage located in the 4200 block of Las Virgenes Road in Calabasas."

It continued, "The next day, the search continued for the other six helicopter occupants. Soon after, their bodies were located, removed from the crash site and transported to the department’s Forensic Science Center."

Celebrities have been flocking to Miami this weekend for the Super Bowl, and many of them are paying tribute to Kobe and his young daughter.
