Wiesbaden, Germany - Pathologists have identified all 14 foreign tourists aboard a Twin Otter plane that crashed, killing 18 people, in Nepal this month, German federal police said Thursday. Four Nepalese people were killed in the crash on October 8 at Lukla in the Himalayas.

Medical records from the tourists' homelands were used to identify the foreigners' remains.

Germany's BKA federal police sent a pathologist, a dentist and a police physician to Nepal to confirm the identities of 12 Germans and two Australians killed.

At its national headquarters in Wiesbaden, the BKA published a list of the states where the tourists lived before their departure to Nepal.

Only the pilot of the plane survived the Yeti Airlines plane's impact. Reports have blamed the crash on poor visibility in fog.
