Connecticut Medical Examiner Wayne H. Carver II told the Hartford Courant that Lanza's remains were claimed several days ago by someone who wanted to remain anonymous.

Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six educators at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. He also killed his mother in their Newtown home before going on the rampage and then later committing suicide. Police have not offered a motive for the killings.

A private funeral was held earlier this month in New Hampshire for his mother, Nancy Lanza.
