Autopsy Shows Mandalay Bay Shooter Committed Suicide with Shot to Head

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.

Sickening, but knowing what I know about him, I could take it.

In theory they would look very carefully for signs that the suicide was faked before coming to a conclusion. I.e. analyze DNA, powder levels and blood splatter patterns. That can take a long time.

However since there are so many strange things about the case, they may have “missed” any funny stuff.

I believe that the only reason the autopsy report was that it was ordered released by a judge?

Strange there is no mention of Gunpowder residue on the hand.

Thank you for posting what most likely happened. Too bad we no longer can trust or rely on official sources.

I can’t believe that they would think we’d believe this guy did this like they say he did. They must think we’re all full on tards.

If that is indeed a real crime scene photo of Steven Paddock's body after he committed suicide, after firing hundreds of rounds on the crowd.
How come there is a blood free casing laying on top of the pool of blood from His "self inflicted gun shot" to His head?
Just asking for a friend.

I’ve seen the image including the chest. There appears to be a chest wound also. This would correspond with the videos that pick up two final shots 8 seconds apart at the end of the shooting episode.

[whimsical tale of saudi intrigue and DVAS (deadly viper assassination squad) hijinks]

There would be plenty of video from the hotel to corroborate such a whimsical tale—large teams of assassins mulling around the top floors of the Mandalay Bay and all.

Lemme guess—all such video got "disappeared". How very convenient...

But where is the tattoo on the neck? Did the coroner Photoshop it away?

Blood, like most fluids, flows around objects not over them.
Your friend doesn’t need to thank me.

That’s what it looks like when you put a .38 in your mouth and pull the trigger.

Now let’s go back to the explanations given for why there was
so little blood under Vince Foster’s head.

Correct. I have not seen the full autopsy and Coroner’s report. I suspect it would have many more details than the Las Vegas Review article.

You would think, in a case of this magnitude, the examination would have been very careful and thorough.

I would like to read the full report. Here is a link to the preliminary report of the investigation that was released on January 18, 2018:

I think you are mistaking the lower part of the revolver's frame for a spent round.

Here is a clear image of that model, or a very similar one.

There is some discoloration on the shirt that appears to come from a liquid on the chest. It is not clear the source of the liquid.

Yes, it's absolutely impossible that someone else stuffed that gun in his mouth and shot him.

(I'd like to believe you but...)
