Autopsy results, as reported in the Las Vegas Review Journal, show the Mandalay Bay Shooter committed suicide with a shot to the roof of the mouth. From reviewjournal.com:
The autopsy, which included toxicology tests and a brain examination, found that Paddock had anti-anxiety medication in his system. It also confirmed what authorities had previously said — that Paddock died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head after he opened fire at an outdoor concert from his 32nd-floor Mandalay Bay suite, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds more.
“It seems that based on the autopsy reports there were no physical excuses for what Steve did,” said his younger brother Eric Paddock, who lives in Orlando, Fla. “We may never understand why Steve did this.”
The bullet that killed Paddock entered the roof of his mouth and traveled to the back of his head and then upward without exiting his body, leaving fractured bones along the way, the report says. Paddock also had scrapes on his right upper calf and knee and a bruise on his left calf.
A separate examination of his brain done at Stanford University found no major abnormalities, including no evidence of Alzheimer’s disease.
The article in the Review Journal does not say if the autopsy report shows what position the Mandalay Bay shooter was in when he committed suicide or which hand held the .38 Smith & Wesson 340SC that appears in the photograph of the dead shooter. The revolver is about three feet from the shooters head, as he lies on his back on the Mandalay Bay carpet. The article does not say what position the body was in when it was found.
Their appears to be a trail of blood spots from the pool of blood under the shooter's head to the revolver.

I believe this as much as I believe the ‘98% payouts on slots’ ads in Vegas.
This whole thing is a put-up job.
Cowardly bastard........................
Yeah right. This makes the Newtown shooting look like a film school submission.
That gun is 18-20 inches from his head. Not 3 feet. Cops are supposed to move weapons away from suspects. Doesn’t matter that he was dead. They failed to do so.
What was the caliber of the bullet found in his skull? And does that match the caliber of the gun that was found on the other side of the room, from where he shot himself in the mouth from?
Asking for a friend.
The government says so. How can it not be true? /s
Easier to suicide with a revolver than a rifle.
But it appears the body has been moved from the position it was in after the shot. Probably done by one of the first responders.
We do not know the timing or provenance of the photograph.
WOW!
It only took 4 weeks to come up with this analysis!
The blood drop from the pool of blood to the revolver indicate that someone likely moved the revolver away from the body.
Probably one of the first responders, as you suggest.
Did he kill himself before or after he shot up the concert?
(I Gotta put tinfoil on my shopping list.)
WOW!
It only took 4 weeks to come up with this analysis!
about than should be “about”
Hard to believe a round of that caliber did not exit!
That is the best take....and what really happened....IMO
Well, that’s proof then. No way he could have had someone else do it or have been forced to do it, then. No need to think about this at all. No one has ever been killed and made to look like a suicide, so it could not have ever happened that way, we know.
Wasn’t FBI douchebag McCabe in charge of this investigation?
If so, it makes it hard to believe the “official” version of events.
