The body of Omar Mateen, the gunman who killed 49 people in the Orlando shooting on June 12th, has a final resting place: the Muslim Cemetery of South Florida in Hialeah Gardens.
It is not clear, though, if he has already been buried or is scheduled to be buried there.
Alex Harris is covering the story for The Miami Herald. She says, after a traditional Muslim death, family members wear white and it is a relatively short grieving period.
“And after three days, mourning’s over, and you can change out of your white clothes and...life goes on.”
Harris spoke with the Muslim Cemetery of Central Florida, which was not chosen for the burial.
“They have nothing to do with him, they would want nothing to do with him, although no one did ask them.”
The two private Muslim burial sites in Opa Locka and Sunrise, were not selected.
