Las Vegas shooter's autopsy gives no clues
2018-02-11
[ReviewJournal] Autopsy records obtained Friday by the Review-Journal shed no new light on what might have contributed to Stephen Paddock’s motives for committing the Oct. 1 Las Vegas Strip massacre.

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.

Diazepam is a sedative-hypnotic drug in the class of benzodiazepines, which studies have shown can trigger aggressive behavior.
A summary of the toxicologist’s findings can be seen at the link.

#7  The body language of that Vegas sheriff always gave me pause. Kinda looked like he'd jump straight into next week if someone walked up and goosed him. Can't figure out his problem.

#6  I always felt that when the FBI came into this investigation, it took a turn towards the weird. There's far more to this case than is being made public. Too much just doesn't add up.

#5  Provincial cops ‐ and by extension, their political masters ‐ are being accused of incompetence in recent high-profile crimes.

#3  When did he die? That should have been mentioned on the autopsy report. Ballistics on the bullet(s) that went through his head?

#2  Maybe LVPD should call Harry Dresden.

#1  Of course this gives us no clues - this is a distraction...I want to see the contents of the history of the websites visited by Paddock and search history on his smartphone's web browser as well as his home/laptop computer...his text messages, app messages and contents of his library at home.

There is a reason that I do not trust the prosecutor on this case...or any other potential ideological crime.
