Its a cover up, what else did you expect?
Where are the victims bodies? Are they at the coroner's office? If they are, and I'd think they'd have to be because in a criminal case the ME has to provide a thorough cause of death. My guess is they can't let anyone catch on to the fact that such a large number of the victims were killed with head shots, obviously by a sniper and not by some loon doing a bump fire spray n' pray.
Then of course........there's the question of who was the dead shooter anyway; and that prompts the question was it Paddock or is Paddock off somewhere in witness protection?
This whole thing stinks to high heaven. They REALLY botched this one up.

Perhaps because the press are vultures and they want to keep the area clear to allow the professionals to do their jobs without any interference? This is a major case, so erring on the side of caution is warranted when you have "keyboard coroners" clamoring to make up unfounded stories and leaks of "anonymous sources" go viral.
So, you lockdown the office to provide a way to deny that aspect from tainting the findings of the investigation.

A lot of autopsies need to be performed and those bodies, and what they contain, are considered evidence.

Actually it depends on the range. The other sniper was closer and lower. Military snipers run by the rule, one shot one kill, they do headshots when possible at a closer range. The very best thrill to one-headshot, two kills, where the bullet traverses through two skulls. The machine gun type fire from Mandalay Bay was cover fire. I dont think many were killed from that position, unless there was a military trained sniper doing the shooting.
