Elsewhere, Tamura wrote: “Study my brain please. I’m sorry.”

Tamura died from a self-inflicted ball injury.
“Following an in -depth evaluation and an in -depth analysis of our neuropathology experts, the OCME has found unambiguous diagnostic evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also known as CTE, in the cerebral fabric of the deceased.
“The CTE can be found in the brain of the deceased with history of repeated exposure to the head trauma. Science around this condition continues to evolve, and the physical and mental manifestations of the CTE remain under study,” he continued.
The forensic doctor’s office previously said that Tamura had died suicide from a self-inflicted ball injury. Pathologists do not say if Cte played a role.
The NFL said in a press release: “We continue to cry the loss of insane lives, and our hearts remain with the families of the victims and our dedicated employees.”
“There is no justification for the horrible acts that took place,” continued the NFL declaration. “While the medical examiner notes it” science around this condition continues to evolve and the physical and mental manifestations of the CTE remain under study. “”
Four people were killed during the shooting: Aland Etienne, a security guard for the building; Wesley Lepatner, a Blackstone executive who was wife and mom; Didarul Islam, a police officer who was the father of two people; And Julia Hyman, a young employee of Rudin Management. All except Hyman were killed in the building hall.
All the victims of the hall were shot in less than 30 seconds.
Tamura then moved to the elevator bank, inexplicably allowing a woman to pass unscathed, police said. The detectives believe that he went to get the NFL offices but entered the bad elevator.
He finished on the 33RD floor around 6:28 p.m.
Meanwhile, the office cleaner Sebije Nelovic said Tamura had shot her but missed. Nélovic said in a statement sent by her union that she had run in the corridor, hid in a closet and “began to pray”.
She said that she had heard cries, then steps, while the shooter was heading for the closet where she was hiding.
While the shots hit the door of the closet, Nélovic said that she was thinking of Hyman, the 27 -year -old woman who often worked late in the Rudin Management offices, the company that operates the building.
“I said to myself:” God helps him “, said Nelovic.
Hyman was the last person killed and killed before Tamura committed suicide about four minutes after arriving on 33RD ground.
All in all, the police said that he had fired 47 laps, a number which indicates that he recharged once.
