Scott was carrying weapons while under the influence of drugs. That's a felony in Nevada. If he followed the law he'd still be alive. The second gun in his pocket was not on his CCW permit, which was another legal infraction.
And,lastly,I'd be curious to see if any toxicology tests were done in the autopsy (I'll wager there were) and how they turned out.
Scott had six times the normally lethal amount of morphine in his system and one time the normally lethal amount of Xanax. The mixture of the two drugs is dangerous under normal levels. Scott obtained these drugs illegally, either by doctor shopping ( a doctor shopping report on Scott was being processed for Scott before the shooting ), or with a stolen prescription pad. Scott stumbled multiple times in the store. He told one of the employees he was "messed up." He wrote illegibly on the membership application. His fiance propped him up with a shopping cart at one point.
So, the cops are in the clear.
Erik Scott was already dead anyway...
wow - first I have heard of this drug stuff
can you point to a source? Not that you word isn’t golden, mind you, I just want to see why this took so long to come out....
While I still fault the LVPD and COSTCO, for their actions and the coverup on this incident, I don't think that Scott is the total innocent in this case, nor his immediate family.
WHY would his girlfriend take him to COSTCO when he was almost unable to walk, talk, and think ? And why was she not sticking to him like glue, if he was having such difficulties.
Did he drive? (no one has bothered to ask that question yet)
Then I have made an improper post to GSC above on the autopsy. Moonman ....Can you steer me to the reference / link on that “””if you have time”””. First I have heard of such, no doubt my own fault missing it in the text or if you have good source / link.
Thanks for your time......
