Family members of the victims of the Orlando massacre finally have some answers as to what happened inside Pulse nightclub two months ago, as 31 of the victims’ autopsy reports were released on Friday.
The reports revealed that most of the victims died of multiple gunshot wounds in a variety of places, including their heads, torsos and arms.
“It’s heartbreaking and it’s extremely difficult, but I have to know exactly what happened to my son, and I want the world to know and understand what he went through,” said Christine Leinonen, who recently spoke at the Democratic National Convention after losing her son in the attack.
“People will share my pain and realize he’s more than just a photo flashing on a screen and went through a lot of pain,” she added.
Autopsy reports also showed that gunman Omar Mateen was shot by police eight times from a distance.
The killer tested negative for drugs and alcohol, and his urine did not show abnormal testosterone levels, despite previous speculation about his potential anabolic steroid abuse.
The Medical Examiner’s office plans to release the remaining victims’ autopsies in increments, resuming Monday morning and expecting to be finished by Wednesday night.
