Relatives of the 19 tourists killed in a plane crash in Nepal wait outside a Kathmandu hospital to collect the bodies of their loved ones.
The bodies of the victims were kept at Kathmandu Teaching Hospital after the accident on Sunday until post-mortem examinations were complete.
Nepali officials said the plane carrying foreign tourists to view Mount Everest crashed near Nepal's capital, killing everyone on board.
The Beechcraft plane was owned by Buddha Air, a private airline operated in Nepal.
An official at the Kathmandu airport said among the passengers were 10 Indians, two Americans, one Japanese, three Nepalese in addition to three Nepali crew members.
The last plane crash in Nepal was in December of last year, when a Twin Otter aircraft crashed into the Himalayan foothills, killing all 22 people on board.
