While hundreds of thousands have shown their love and support for the victims of the Orlando massacre, the local coroner’s office just did their own act of support in a way only they could.

Dr. Joshua Stephany is the Chief Medical Examiner for the case and just released a statement explaining why they broke protocol in placing the murderer’s body:

“The Pulse shooter was transported separately from the scene. His remains are being held in a separate building at the ME facility. The shooter’s autopsy was also conducted in another building, away from the victims. This is not a law or requirement, but was rather done out of respect for the victims and their families so that the shooter may never be near the 49 beautiful souls again.”

Stephany then went on to say that they’re responsible for not only the police department, but the families of the victims, and he takes that responsibility very seriously.

Greg Zanis is another supporter who went above and beyond to make sure the 49 lives that were taken that night are remembered. He built personalized crosses for each victim and then proceeded to drive 1,200 miles to Orlando Health Medical Center where he placed the crosses around the hospital.
