Dozens of lifeless bodies scatter the outdoor Las Vegas concert venue where Stephen Paddock unleashed a firestorm of bullets Sunday night, in one of the most horrifying pictures to emerge from the massacre.
The bodies sit amid a litter of debris including beer cans, water bottles and even cowboy hats and flip flops – lost by their owners in the ensuing stampede.
A few of the limp bodies rest alone, while others are coupled up – suggesting friends that died at the same time. In one corner of the image, a large group of bodies are heaped together.

A horrifying video has emerged, showing dozens of lifeless bodies scattering the Las Vegas field where Stephen Paddock killed 58 on Sunday
Nearby, groups of survivors duck for cover behind a fence. Some lay on top of loved ones to offer protection.
One girl, wearing cowboy boots, crouches and looks up at the camera – a look of fear in her eyes.
In the distance, the hotels of the Las Vegas strip – including the Luxor, Excalibur and New York New York casinos – cast a fluorescent light on the field of death.
Out of the frame to the left is the Mandalay Bay resort and casino where the gunman attacked the concert from his 32nd floor suite before committing suicide.
Fifty-nine people were killed in the shooting and 527 were injured – making it the most deadly shooting in U.S. history.
Meanwhile, another video has surfaced showing the panicked concertgoers evacuating the field after gunfire rang out.
Newly released footage also shows the panicked concertgoers fleeing the field after the gunshots rang out on Sunday
The video, which appears to be taken from the Coca Cola VIP area in the rear of the field, shows the masses running for cover.
By then it appears that the crowd had realized that the gunfire was coming from the Mandalay Bay hotel, and started running away from it over a fence on the left side of the stage and to the rear of the field.
At first, some confused concertgoers had actually streamed out of an exit to the right of the stage – directly towards the shooter in Mandalay.
Flowers and signs are left at a makeshift memorial for the victims of a mass shooting in Las Vegas on Wednesday
