Cremated remains of Las Vegas mass shooter to be kept in safe deposit box, brother says
Without fanfare, the cremated remains of Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock were released to his brother, who said he intends to store them in a bank deposit box to make sure theres no hoopla around Steves remains.
Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg issued a statement Thursday saying that, due to security concerns, we felt it was important to deliver the remains in a secure manner, which was accomplished.
When after death can a cremation take place?
Cremation cannot take place until the following legal documents have been finalized: the death certificate is signed by the certifier (physician or medical examiner/coroner), the funeral director, and the county registrar. A burial-transit permit is issued by the county in which the death occurs. The next of kin gives written permission for the cremation unless the deceased signed their own cremation authorization prior to their death.
