Search crews on Monday found no survivors following the crash of a private jet in northern Mexico over the weekend.
The jet carried three crew members and 10 passengers who were returning from a trip that included seeing a boxing match between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs on the Las Vegas Strip, local media reported.
An air search located the plane wreckage in a remote mountainous area in the municipality of Ocampo on Monday, the Coahuila state government said.
Officials did not release the names or nationalities of the victims. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
The jet was expected to land Sunday evening in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey after leaving Las Vegas in the afternoon. Flight controllers lost contact with the plane over Coahuila.
Alvarez shared his condolences on Monday.
“I deeply lament the terrible accident of the plane coming from Vegas,” he wrote on Twitter. “I’m deeply grateful for the support of all the people who travel to see my fights. My prayers are with their families.”
Mexico’s civil aviation authority said it and other agencies had begun recovering bodies and what remained of the plane Monday.
The plane was registered to Utah-based TVPX, listed as an insurance, customs and trust company.
Canada’s Bombardier Inc. identified the jet as a Challenger 601 in a statement to Reuters.
