Forensic experts at Sao Paulo's morgue have identified 35 of the 62 victims from last week's tragic plane crash in Vinhedo, confirming that all 62 individuals onboard were killed.

The Brazilian Air Force has begun transporting the remains of the passengers back to Cascavel, in southern Brazil, where the flight originated. So far, 17 bodies have been released to their families, along with the corresponding death certificates.

While the exact cause of the crash is still under investigation, preliminary theories suggest ice buildup could be a factor. Investigators have recovered the plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, and a preliminary report is expected within 30 days. Videos of the plane crashing have prompted aviation experts to analyze potential contributing factors further.
