Funeral: Coffins Of The Brazilian Footballers Who Died In Plane Crash

The coffins of some of the Brazilian Chapecoense football team players killed in a plane crash in the Colombian mountains, are seen at the San Vicente Mortuary in Medellin today.
United for one last time, these are the coffins containing the remains of Brazilian footballers killed in the devastating Colombia air crash.

The bodies of Chapecoense players killed when the plane smashed into a mountain have been identified and are being embalmed and prepared for transport by military aircraft back to their homeland.

The caskets are due to arrive in the club's home city of Chapeco as soon as midday on Friday and be taken directly to the club's stadium for a collective wake that Brazilian President Michel Temer is expected to attend.

The tributes took place as crash investigators aided by dramatic cockpit recordings were studying why the British-built jet apparently ran out of fuel before slamming into a muddy mountainside just a few miles from Medellin's international airport.
Instead of sitting excitedly in front of televisions to watch the action in Colombia, the people of Chapeco, a provincial city of about 200,000, trooped into their stadium to mourn and join in ecumenical prayer.
