Drug use
The Daily Mail reported that Bouhlel "was on a cocktail of drugs for schizophrenia, alcoholism and depression."[1]
Lone nut?
Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was reported to have have mental health problems, and has also been called not a ‘lone wolf’. However, French TV reported that he sent an SMS at 10.27pm on Thursday saying: "Bring more weapons, bring five of them to C." An earlier message said: "It’s good. I have the equipment."[1]
Muslim?
He has been called a Muslim, but his neighbours report that he "drank alcohol, ate pork and took drugs".[1] Commercially-controlled media later reports that he was "radicalized" during a trip abroad.[citation needed]
Killing
He was reportedly shot dead by police after he shot at them with a pistol.[1]
