Indeed, it came as a shock to us all and millions are still mourning the loss of a truly incredible athlete.

Of course, no one can even begin to imagine what Vanessa and her children are going through right now and we can only hope that they’re getting all the support and love they need at this extremely difficult time. It’s still hard to believe he’s really gone, but as Kobe’s wife says here, they now need to begin trying to navigate this new reality.
As for the crash itself, well, it’s still under investigation, but it’s thought that the fog and severe weather were the main culprits. More details continue to come to light each and every day, though, so we should get a better picture of what exactly happened fairly soon.
In the meantime, our thoughts and prayers are with Kobe Bryant‘s loved ones as they deal with his and his daughter’s tragic deaths.
