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.

Mexico City -- The plane carrying Mexican-American music superstar Jenni Rivera plunged almost vertically from more than 28,000 feet and hit the ground in a nose-dive at a speed that may have exceeded 600 miles per hour, Mexico's top transportation official said Tuesday.
In the first detailed account of the moments leading up to the crash that killed Rivera and six other people, Secretary of Communications and Transportation Gerardo Ruiz Esparza told Radio Formula that the twin-engine turbojet hit the ground 1.2 miles from where it began falling.
"The plane practically nose-dived," he said. "The impact must have been terrible."
Ruiz did not offer any explanation of what may have caused the plane to plummet, saying only that "The plane fell from an altitude of 28,000 feet ... It may have hit a speed higher than 1,000 kph (621 mph)."
Ruiz said the pilot of the plane, Miguel Perez Soto, had a valid Mexican pilot's license that would have expired in January.

The plane that crashed early Sunday morning leaving Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera dead had logged 43 years worth of flights and had malfunctioned once before in 2005, Mexican wire service Notimex reports.
The cause of the plane crash that killed Rivera was not immediately known by Sunday evening, but data from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration showed the Learjet 25 was built in 1969, according to Notimex.
While trying to take off on an Amarillo airstrip in 2005, the plane experienced a fuel system malfunction, causing one wing to weigh more than the other. No one was injured in the 2005 accident, Notimex reports.
At least five people were on board the plane when it crashed Sunday: the pilots, Miguel Pérez and Alejandro Torres, along with the singer, her publicist and her makeup artist.
