Alexandre Quiros, an academically decorated Air Force Academy cadet, stabbed himself to death, the El Paso County Coroner's Office announced Wednesday. His mother, Ksenia Quiros, ingested deadly levels of antihistamine and hiked into remote open space to kill herself 13 days later.

The autopsy report for Alexandre, a decorated astronautics senior, details 28 wounds, from incisions to stabbings, of his neck, forehead, scalp, eyelid, chin, left leg, chest and upper abdomen.
The stab wounds, particularly in the right and left carotid arteries and jugular veins, "resulted in massive blood loss and his subsequent death," the report says.

The 21-year-old cadet had taken Oxycodone for dental surgery earlier April 2, and his body had traces of Benzodiazepine, a classification of anti-anxiety drugs such as Xanax or Valium, says the report by pathologist Daniel Lingamfelter. The report made no link between the drugs and suicide, citing only a "history of recent personal stressors." Nor did it make note of the dental surgery or whether Quiros underwent general anesthesia.
