And they have still have Kobe Bryant's body being stored in a freezer.

Is it really that hard to plan the man's funeral?

Not to be morbid, but is there an actual body? That crash was horrific

The dude was 103. I'm sure he and his family had this planned for years. The announcement that there would be no public service went out almost immediately.

Kobe died young and suddenly.

It won’t be an open casket. That’s for sure.

There won't be any public service with tens of thousands of people filling an NBA arena and thousands more outside for Kirk Douglas.

There is, and if you look hard enough, there's a pic of Kobe somewhere in the deep recesses of the internet.

Know this for a fact or are you just assuming there is?

He was identified through finger prints three days later so no clue what you think you’re looking at

How much of a body did they even recover for Kobe? Couldn’t have been much

His daughter wore number 2 and Kobe wore number 24. Funeral will be held on 02/24 on a Monday in honor of them and I know it took a few days later to identify the three little girls being they didn’t know who was who.

Because Kobe's body was likely in a thousand pieces. It took them more than 2 days just to recover the bodies.

They hit that hill at a speed equivalent to 180mph and helicopters are not designed for head on collisions like cars are.

That helicopters evaporated into dust on impact. Sounds horrible but significantly more merciful than a vehicle collision. They likely felt no pain. God rest their souls.
