Air-traffic controllers said they lost contact with the Bombardier Challenger 601 jet late Sunday after it abruptly lost altitude over Coahuila.

Only the wings and the tail were left intact while the fuselage was badly charred and shattered.
Aboard the plane were two executives of the Mexican oil services company Typhoon Offshore, along with eight relatives, according to a company statement. The group had come to Las Vegas to attend a fight in which Mexican boxer Saul "El Canelo" Alvarez defeated Daniel Jacobs of the United States.

The wreckage of the crashed jet was later found in a remote mountainous zone of Mexico, the government of Mexico's Coahuila state, said in a statement. 

"There were no survivors seen," it said.

On Twitter, the athlete expressed sorrow over the incident, saying "my prayers are with their relatives." The other three people who died were the crew of the plane, a twin-engine Bombardier Challenger 600 series.

Coahuila Undersecretary of Civil Protection Francisco Martinez pointed to changing weather, with storms, hailstorms and strong winds as a possible cause of the crash.
