Subject: Is half of Eric's head missing in the suicide photo? Wed Aug 07, 2019 5:25 pm
I have noticed since the first day i saw the suicide photo of the 2 that the top of Eric's skull is missing, only seeing his eyes and below. So that makes me wonder, was his shotgun that powerful enough that i launched the top of his skull off his head? was his brain visible when the SWAT team carried his body?

From Eric's Autopsy Report:
HEAD:
The scalp is covered by short, blood stained, black hair. The normal contour of the head is prominently distorted by extensive laceration of the scalp and associated massive fracturing of the cranium. Present in the mid-aspect of the lower forehead and extending downward to involve the bridge of the nose; the distal portion of the right side of the nose; and the medial aspects of both orbits; is an oblong configured blow-out type of laceration measuring 3" in length by 2” in width, associated with underlying multiple fracture fragments which extend outward from the wound. Present on the right lower forehead, extending upwards and across the lateral aspect of the right side of the head; extending up over the apex of the head; and then extending downward to involve the posterior aspect of the scalp to the level of the horizontal plane of the ears; is a large gaping laceration which measures 8" in length by 3” in width.

There was brain matter found underneath the molotov cocktail and I believe some fell on the floor when he was put on the stretcher.

look up 'kleboldead dailymotion' and on his dailymotion channel is an edit that morphs Eric's head with his corpse and shows the damage.

Yes. His head resembled an eggshell with the top half missing. I assume the top half was vaporized, rather than like, hitting the ceiling or whatever.

So, there is a hole on the right bottom part of the forehead all the way to the right side of the head that goes down to the level of the ears. That is a lot of damage, no wonder brain matter and blood hit the ceiling.
We know that the Harris' ordered cremation of Eric's body and had their lawyer pick up his ashes. I wonder if they ever see Eric's body though. It must have been horrible if they did. We know Dylan's Mom saw him and commented on the look of his face.

the underlying skull is what keeps your face form, the blast shattered all of the internal structure which meant his face would probably have resembled a deflated rubber Halloween mask, that had no frame to hold it in place.

I have the video of Vladislav Roslyakov dead. He dressed basically like eric, died near some bookcases, there's brain matter next to him. He's in rigor mortis in the vid and of course pale as hell. I can't post the video cause it's too graphic but if you want to see what Eric might've looked like, PM me.

For some reason I can PM anyone but I cannot upload images or a video while PMing or if I click on someone’s profile. Perhaps it’s because I’m on a cell phone instead of a chrome book/laptop/tablet.

Vladislav cannot be used as a similar comparison, he didn't blow off the top of his head, rather his side, and there was a huge portion of his brain left back. Harris' brain disintegrated into chunks and blood upon firing "arlene". Also, Vladislav used a pistol grip shotgun, which I believe came pre-shortened. The Stevens shotgun Harris used had its stock and barrel cut down, thus increasing the spread and how badly he messed up the bodies of his victims and himself. These variables means vladislav is not a good comparison.

There is not one iota of sympathy in my being for the massacre. Granted, Eric and Dylan were still kids themselves. It’s been scientifically confirmed that the brain is not fully developed until your early to mid 20s. The last part of the brain to form is the frontal lobe which is responsible for decision making. Hence why teens can be reckless sometimes, like driving recklessly and experimenting with drugs and/or alcohol. With that being sad, I feel a lot of compassion for someone who commits suicide. It’s heartbreaking to think that some people believe that the only way to stop your mental and emotional pain is to take your own life.

I've never really seen the E and D suicide photo with Eric's half exploded head visible; I've only seen it with just the corner of my eye, always closing the image immediatly everytime I somehow ran into it, and it's enough for me. I can't look at someone who I've seen smile, laugh, speak in his photos and videos, dead in that gory way, without feeling sick, even if he was a mass shooter; I even can't read the part of his autopsy report that describe his head. With Dylan is different: in his suicide photo, to me he seem like he's finally free from everything, having an almost serene face. I don't think Eric killed himself in that way because he hated himself, like someone said (although I believe he really hated himself); I think he just wanted to die in the most possible quick way, but that doesn't mean that he didn't something awful to himself. I can only imagine the pain of his family

These pictures never really disturbed me because they're really grainy and hard to make out. And they're taken from a far away enough distance to where you cant see much.
Imagine the photos of their faces? That wouldve been much worse. I'm sure they took those at the coroner's office.
You can clearly see that Eric's head is half blown off because a bookshelf is where the other half of his head is supposed to be.
Dylan looked like he drowned in his own blood with the way it streams down from both his dimples.
I wondered what the original position photos looked like.

I’m with you on that one re. why he blew the top of his head off. I’ve seen people post on here about his self loathing etc - I think he did it just to be absolutely sure it was instant (and thus avoid a Dylan type death).

No, Dylan’s mom saw Dylan’s body at his funerals, she said in her book.

I hate to break it to you guys, but I requested the 3 photos over a year ago and I still haven't received them. So, it's probably safe to assume you won't get them either.
