Investigators and coroner’s personnel are working on a rugged hillside outside Los Angeles where a helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant and eight others crashed in foggy conditions considered dangerous enough that local police agencies grounded their choppers. About 20 investigators are on the scene Monday in Calabasas were Bryant’s helicopter crashed Sunday with an impact that scattered debris over an area the size of a football field and killed everyone aboard. The coroner’s office says three bodies were recovered Sunday afternoon. The accident unleashed an outpouring of grief from admirers of the basketball great who spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers.
