ORLANDO, Fla. — The body of the Pulse shooter has been released from the Orange County Medical Examiner's Office Monday, authorities said.
County officials said Monday that the medical examiner was no longer in possession of 29-year-old Mateen's body.
At the request of the FBI, no further information is available regarding Omar Mateen's autopsy report, who the body was released to and when the body was released.
The medical examiner previously had said his office kept Mateen's body separate from the 49 victims who died at the gay nightclub.
In the wake of the shooting, 53 people were found injured and police identified 49 people who were killed inside the club.

The club was packed with people when Mateen began firing an assault rifle.
According to transcripts released by the FBI, no shots were fired from 2:02 a.m., when gunfire was first reported at the club, until the final shootout with police more than three hours later.
In a call made at 2:35 a.m. June 12, Mateen spoke with a 911 operator for about 50 seconds.
“In the name of God the merciful, the beneficial (words in Arabic),” Mateen said at the start of the call.
In the call, which took place while Mateen was inside the club, the gunman went on to claim credit for the shootings.
