A family spokesman has confirmed that Adam Lanza's father, Peter, claimed his son's body and that "private arrangements" for burial took place over the weekend.
State Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carer II had said Sunday that the body of the gunman in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting had been claimed sometime last week.
HARTFORD -- While doctors and scientists conduct a battery of toxicological tests and genetic analysis to help determine what turned Adam Lanza into a psychopathic killing machine Dec. 14, the state's chief medical examiner doubts the reports will offer any answers.
"It's a fishing expedition," said H. Wayne Carver II, whose autopsy of Lanza is one of nearly 1,000 he has conducted in his 30-plus years of experience.
How do I make arrangements for a deceased to be released from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner? The family should make contact with a funeral home of their choice. The funeral home will make the arrangements for the removal from OCME. Usually the removal can be made within a day of the death, however if necessary, the deceased may remain at OCME while the final arrangements are being complete
Dr. Begg was working the emergency room on December 14, when the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary happened.
Police said Monday that two adults were injured but survived the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and will be interviewed as soon as they're well enough to answer questions.
Thornberg says they waited in the closet for "what seemed like forever." Police said the gunman entered at 9:30 a.m. and the shooting was over in about 10 minutes.
Thornberg says police arrived at the school and, unaware of who was doing the shooting, apprehended the janitor and another man outside the school.
Most of the children and Thornberg raced to a firehouse down the street, where "it was chaos," she says.
"Our children have lived through the Sept. 11 attack, the Aurora, Colo., movie massacre and now this attack, and you realize how much evil is in the world," she says.
They could also hear the janitor tell Adam Lanza to put down his gun.
toxicological tests and genetic analysis
Not your average janitor. Know what I'm sayin'?

Shadow analysis puts 10:26AM as the time that the firehouse was being filmed. I don't see any kids at the firehouse. I doubt they would all be picked up and brought home by their parents in that little amount of time.

No offense but "Feel" and "felt" seem to be the operative words in a number of your posts. I'm guessing neither you nor your friends have ever been involved as parents in a situation like Sandy Hook so how you "feel" people should have behaved doesn't really count for much.

Surely if the heli video is from so early in the day we would see way more activity around the school itself... police and emergency people.

From the info I have gathered and analyzed, it appears Gene Rosen was practicing his lines at 10:26 AM at the Firehouse...
That's my analysis.

If children suddenly showed up on my drive way, I would not take them into my home until I phoned the police first.

I just realized that hand might represent the Hamsa:
Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many societies throughout history, the hamsa is believed to provide defense against the evil eye.

And you gotta love the Owl picture that that one little girl drew that was displayed to Anderson Cooper

Once again, what you "would" do. Or what you think you would do. Or what someone thinks others "should" have done in a crisis after examining the situation from a distance and well after the fact.

You know what I am feeling? That these children were used in a satanic rite and that parents were involved. This would explaining the smiling faces and lack of shock when this tragedy happened. It would explain a lot to me.
If no one believes that children can be ritualistically abused and killed, please contact a local therapist who specifically works with children and teenagers who have been abused this way. It does exist, and parents have been known to be involved in groups who do this to their children. It is very sick and disturbing.
It has completely freaked me out how children have been used in this. Not just the president thing...those weren't Newtown kids. But the singing group....for some reason when I first heard about that my heart dropped. This happened in the middle of December, school was out until the new year and then within like a week the music teacher decided to put together a group, wrote a song, got them into a recording studio and they were on Good Morning America. Now they are singing at the Super Bowl? Does that give anyone else a bad feeling?

I don't know about the US, but in the UK places where very notorious murders took place are sometimes demolished to prevent them becoming 'tourist' sites and stop 'souvenir hunters' taking things to profit from such crimes. There's an old article about it here.
I don't think it's remarkable that they're demolishing it. As genuinely fascinating as James Tracy's article is, he and his partner are only two of potentially very many people visiting the town and school as a result of what happened there. Personally, I believe it's far better to demolish the school than have its pupils and staff subjected to grief tourists for many years to come.
Yeah like the Tower?

I can't count how many times I've seen people claiming what "should" or "would" have happened at Sandy Hook without any real basis for making that judgment. This was 20 kids killed at an elementary school. A once in a lifetime experience for everyone involved. Who's to say what should have or would have happened?
