HARTFORD, Conn. -- The body of the man who killed 26 people
at a Connecticut elementary school has been claimed for burial.
Connecticut Medical Examiner Wayne H. Carver II tells the Hartford
Courant that the remains of Adam Lanza were
claimed several days ago by someone who wanted to remain anonymous.
A spokeswoman at Carver's office told The Associated Press she could
not release details about the status of Lanza's remains.
The
20-year-old Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six educators at the
Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. He also killed his mother in
their Newtown home before going on the rampage and then committing
suicide.
A private funeral was held earlier this month in New Hampshire for his mother, Nancy Lanza.
Police have not offered a motive for the killings.
