Las Vegas shooting: Dead body of Stephen Paddock has surfaced online

The dead body of the 64year old Stephen Paddock who killed more than 50 people in Las Vegas before taking his own life in his hotel room at Mandalay Bay resort, has surfaced online.

According to reports, Stephen Paddock shot himself dead after he realized he couldn't escape. Report also had it that it took the police 75 minutes to get to his hotel room.

Police say Paddock started firing down on the crowd of 22,000 people at the concert from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino.

His motive for the horrendous attack is being investigated by police and federal authorities.

It took police 72 minutes to zero in on Paddock's hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino across the street from the festival.

They say he had cameras set up in the hallway so he would know when authorities arrived.

Paddock continued to fight even as police breached his room - firing through the front door at officers. But by the time the SWAT team finally made it into the room, Paddock had killed himself.


He lived in 27 residences in Nevada, Florida and Texas as an adult, but other than that he had apparently lived a quiet and unremarkable life.

The retired accountant had worked as an internal auditor at Lockheed Martin for three years in the late 1980s, and was a manager and investor in apartment complexes located in Mesquite, Texas and California, which made him millions, his brother said, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

Local police said they had no run-ins with the man, not even traffic violations, and his brother described him as 'just a guy who lived in Mesquite who drove down and gambled in Las Vegas and... liked burritos'.
