They named the men as 35-year-old Mexican national Jose Santos Castaneda Castrejon and Columbian national Fernando Duran Garcia, aged 56.
The single-engine Cessna 210 aircraft in which the two men were travelling crashed on the Bluff late on Sunday night, 13 November, clipping two telephone poles along Booby Bird Road as it went down.
According to a statement released by police, post mortem examinations on the men confirmed the cause of death was blunt force trauma.
“Both bodies have been repatriated to their home countries following consultation with their respective embassies,” police said.
According to the RCIPS, the Cayman Islands Government did not pay for the repatriation of the bodies.
Police said they found personal items, including some cash, within the aircraft. Despite speculation locally that the plane may have been used for illicit activities, police said they found no illegal drugs, guns or other contraband on board.
“Some containers containing a liquid was found on board the aircraft. The contents of those containers is being analysed,” police said.
Local and overseas law enforcement agencies have been investigating the crash.
Investigators from the UK’s Air Accident Investigation Branch, the agency responsible for looking into aircraft incidents in Britain and its territories, visited the crash site four days after the fatal accident.
The RCIPS said it was not yet in receipt of the UK investigators’ report.
