What exactly do we know about Eric and Dylan's suicide?

We know the following things for sure or are able to deduce the following from evidence given:

Dylan and Eric returned to the library and exchanged shots with law enforcement. Shots were fired between 12:02h and 12:05h, after which no more shots attributed to Dylan/Eric were heard.

The only survivors left in the library were Lisa Kreutz and Patrick Ireland, with an additional small number of people hiding in the back rooms adjacent to the library. Both Lisa and Patrick were critically injured and reportedly slipped in and out of consciousness at the time.

Because of the cover fire that was ongoing during the rescue operations outside, the witnesses in/near the library were unable to pinpoint the exact moment in time on which Eric and Dylan killed themselves.

The smoke alarm on the ceiling in the library was activated at 12:08h. It was located directly above the area where the bodies of Eric and Dylan were later found.

The fire that triggered the smoke alarm was reportedly caused by a molotov cocktail that had been placed on a library table near their bodies.

A CBI arson investigator later concluded that there was evidence on the table and near the bodies of Eric and Dylan that indicated that the suicides took place prior to the molotov cocktail catching fire. (I believe they found human tissue as the ‘evidence’ they indicate here.)

Eric died instantly from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the roof of his mouth. He was located in front of the bookcase in what is assumed to have been a squatting/crouching position, leading him to slump over against it after his suicide. Both the bookcase and the ceiling above him were splattered with his brain matter.

Dylan died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the left side of his head, though it is assumed he did not die instantly due to the presence of aspiration blood in his lower airway and lungs. He was positioned in front and to the left side of Eric. It is assumed that he was the one to light the molotov cocktail. A small pile of his belongings was placed in his bodybag, which indicates that he removed them at some point prior to his suicide.

Eric died before Dylan. There are quite a few indications to this, but one of the strongest is the fact that Dylan’s head landed on/near Eric’s left knee when he toppled sideways post-gunshot. You can see some of Dylan’s remains on and near Eric’s leg in the suicide photos.

There are no released photographs of the original positions the boys were found in, nor are there many detailed descriptions from law enforcement concerning the exact positions and circumstances the boys were found in. Some evidence and unused weaponry found on their bodies are described in more-or-less detail, but the same cannot be said for their positions. It is assumed that no photographs exist of the original positions they were found in, due to the fact that bomb squad and other officials searched their bodies for booby traps and explosives prior to the arrival of the forensic specialists.

Investigation confirmed that Eric and Dylan were dead by 12:30h, though their bodies were found only three hours later.

The “one-two-three!” report from Patti Nielson was guesswork and not factual reality. (See also this post.)

Lisa Kreutz reported hearing “are you still with me? we’re still gonna do this, right?” at one of the instances where Eric and Dylan were about to enter the library, but the lack of other witnesses confirming this has led myself and others to suggest that it may have been upon their second and not their first entry into the library.

Patrick Ireland heard someone coughing after the fire alarm jolted him back into consciousness. Seeing as Patrick was located near table 15 where Eric and Dylan killed themselves, it might be proof of Dylan having lived for at least a brief while after the gunshot wound to the head.

the sad irony right there

In 2011, Adam Lanza (Under his SBB username, “Smiggles”) uploaded this cookie recipe onto his account. Here is the exact transcript:

“Oatmeal Berry Chipnut Cookies!

Smigglestyle!

Mix:

3 cup oats (The smaller and powderier the better)

1 cup flour (I’m partial to wheat)

1/2 cup water (Adding slightly more later on might help)

3/4 cup peanut butter (Not too liquid, not too solid. Juuust right!)

1/2 cup turbinado-style sugar (The larger the granules the better!)

1 teaspoon cinnamon (Ginger sucks)

1/2 teaspoon salt (Fuck anticaking agents)

1/2 cup dried cranberries (The smoother the better)

1/2 cup dried blueberries (The juicer the better)

1/2 cup milk-free chocolate chips (About a cubic centimetre per chip. Mingled units adds a flair of fun!)

Greased cookie trays are for commies.

Bake them for however long you want. Or not at all. They don’t have any meat in them, after all!”

dance dance revolution

it is well known that adam lanza was quite interested in video game dance dance revolution. he frequented the amc theater located in danbury, connecticut, where he played the game so much, he became known as “ddr boy.”

darren price, an employee at the theater, recalled one time he wanted to play. he had to put a token in the game in order to let adam know that he wanted a turn to play. instead of giving it up completely, adam let the employee play together with him.

in april 2011, adam started playing ddr with a girl who became known as “ddr girl” and another guy. adam would go to the theater every weekend and play from eight to ten hours at a time. sometime later in 2011, there was a snowstorm which caused adam not to go to the theater. he came back in february 2012, but had stopped playing with ddr girl and the other boy.

the last interaction price had with adam was in august or september of 2012. adam was coming back from the restroom after cleaning himself of sweat. price asked him if he was okay and adam responded with “i just don’t want to go home now.” price noticed that adam had a large bruise on his arm and offered him $20 so he could keep playing. adam accepted and continued to play until the manager of the theater had to unplug the game in order to get him to leave.
