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.
Heartbreaking pictures show the coffins laid out in
the Colombian city's SanVicente Mortuary with chairs dressed in white
left out for grieving friends and relatives

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.
