Quite a shock, but also a reminder to enjoy life while it lasts. I think Kobe did

Too damn young.

Condolences to his family. He was a father of four; the youngest one born in June 2019.

Condolences to the families of the four other people who also died.

Supposedly no other family members on board.

I see now that TMZ is reporting reps of kobe said 1 daughter was on board.

Not that it makes it any better, but TMZ reports that his eldest daughter was with him but from what I am seeing three other younger daughters, including one newborn were not with him.

Saw him playing in 1998 and thought he was a punk. Since then he turned his life around and became a respectable player. My thoughts go out to his family.

Familiar with the name of course, although I couldn't have said what sport he was associated with......sad situation.....confirms that you just never know. Sad.
