Such a heartbreaking tragedy.

In a story that is a bit too eerily connected to yet another singer who lost her life too early, Mexican singer Jenni Rivera was proclaimed dead yesterday afternoon following a plane crash almost immediately following takeoff. She was 43 years old.

Jenni had just finished a concert in Monterrey on Saturday night and was flying with two pilots and five other passengers to nearby Toluca when Mexico’s transportation ministry lost contact with the plane’s radar at 3:15 AM, approximately 61 miles from Monterrey.

The plane was found hours later and there were no survivors.

She leaves behind two children and quite a legacy: she sold nearly 20 million albums worldwide, was recently named one of 25 most powerful women by People en Español and had signed on recently to do a comedy pilot for ABC entitled Jenni.

People may be sadly reminded of the death of another Mexican superstar, Selena Quintanilla-Perez, who was shot by her fan club manager less than a month at her final concert at the Houston Astrodome.

May she rest always.
