Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera was presumed dead following a plane crash Sunday (Dec. 9) near Monterrey, Mexico, but now her remains have been identified by the medical examiner's office in Monterrey, confirming the Latin star's death, reports CNN.
Her remains will now be turned over to her family, who were still hoping that the 42-year-old would be found alive despite officials saying none of the seven people on board survived the crash.
A spokesman for Mexico's Nuevo Leon state says the remains of Rivera's publicist, Arturo Rivera (no relation), and the plane's co-pilot have also been identified.
The other passengers believed to be on board were Rivera's attorney Mario Macias, stylist Jorge Sanchez, and makeup artist Jacob Yebale, who took what is believed to be the final photo of the group. The pilots were Miguel Perez Soto and Alejandro Torres.
Employees at a Monterrey funeral home say the singer's remains will be cremated there.

Monterrey, Mexico — The wreckage of a small plane believed to be carrying Jenni Rivera, the U.S-born singer whose soulful voice and unfettered discussion of a series of personal travails made her a Mexican-American superstar, was found in northern Mexico on Sunday.

Authorities in Mexico say the remains found are unrecognizable and have not yet publicly confirmed that she is dead. They say there will be an investigation.
Born in Long Beach, California, Jenni Rivera was at the peak of her career as perhaps the most successful female singer in grupero, a male-dominated regional style influenced by the norteno, cumbia and ranchero styles.
