The report also shows the man who shot and killed three over Labor Day Weekend was highly intoxicated.
Hiram Silva, the man who shot and killed three people at a home on Wai驶anae Valley Road over Labor Day weekend, died of a gunshot wound to the torso, according to his autopsy report released Monday by the Honolulu Medical Examiner鈥檚 Office.聽
He also had a blood alcohol content of 0.182%, more than twice the legal driving limit, according to the report.
Silva, 59, rammed a frontloader into his neighbor鈥檚 home on the night of Aug. 31 before opening fire on people as they tried to flee.
He fatally shot Cherell Keamo, 36, Courtney Raymond-Arakaki, 34, and Jessyca Amasiu, 29, and wounded two others before he was shot and killed by one of the home鈥檚 residents, Rishard Keamo-Carnate.
Silva鈥檚 autopsy report shows that he was shot three times, once in the upper arm and torso, once in the left back and once in his left hand.
He also had a history of hypertension and moderate alcohol use disorder.
The Keamo-Carnate family and their attorney, Michael Green, are pursuing a lawsuit against Silva鈥檚 estate, the Honolulu Police Department and the city. Green has said authorities failed to respond to concerns raised repeatedly by the Keamo-Carnate family about Silva and illegal parties he was hosting in a quonset hut on his property.
