However, it was confirmed that Leo Del Pinto was in fact killed instantly by the bullet wound to his face. This was the first shot fired by the Thai police officer and again, it instantly killed Leo Del Pinto. Leo was then shot a second time in the torso, and although he was already dead the second bullet pierced both his liver and kidney and would have also been a fatal wound.

My understanding is that the ME's office has not stated that the bullet wound to the "cheek" was fatal as you report it. Is it possible you are relying on a local Calgary news article that was improperly written? Mr. Drummond,
