Was the plane attacked?

During the interview, he pointed out that the coroner confirmed that Jenni Rivera’s remains were found in the place where the plane crashed. He indicated that he did not know if it was an accident or not and that all they did was take his sister’s remains home.

“The coroner told me: ‘Yes, it was your sister, I confirm the death of your sister.’ I couldn’t get it off my chest, I told my brothers: ‘We have to calm down, I don’t know if Jenni’s death was by accident or not.’ We grabbed the remains and went back home. I remember the eyes of my mom and dad and I told them: ‘I finished my job here, you do everything else, I can’t take it anymore.’ I went home.”
