Cremated Remains Of Las Vegas Gunman Returned To Family
Eric Paddock flew to Las Vegas on Thursday to pickup the remains of his brother.
LAS VEGAS, NV - Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg announced on Thursday that Las Vegas shooting gunman Stephen Paddock's cremated remains have been returned to his family. The coroner's office issued the following statement on Thursday.
“The cremated remains of Stephen Paddock were given to his brother Eric this morning. Due to security concerns, we felt it was important to deliver the remains in a secure manner, which was accomplished. As you know, we recently released the cause and manner of death in this case. At this time we are not releasing any additional information related to this case.”
The coroner's office announced in December that Paddock's cause of death was self inflicted gunshot wound through his mouth. Search warrant documents released last week shed new insight into Paddock's preparation for the worst mass shooting in modern United States history and raised questions about the potential involvement of Marilou Danley.
