Igor Lanis Cause of Death
Igor Lanis, a 53-year-old man from Michigan, lived in Walled Lake and was a strong believer in QAnon conspiracy theories. He was so involved in them that he led him to shoot members of his own family on Sunday 9/11. After shooting his wife to death and wounding his daughter, he was knocked down when he began shooting at the officers. According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, Igor Lanis also killed the family’s dog. Authorities found in their investigation that Lanis was obsessed with pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theories.
It was around 4:11 am when police first received a 911 distress call. The call came from 25-year-old Rachel Lanis, the eldest daughter of Igor Lanis. Although she did not provide her location on the call, dispatchers triangulated the call and it took officers only 5 minutes to reach the home. The official statement read: “Officers observed the 911 caller/victim, a 25-year-old female, at the front door…attempting to crawl [out] of the home. She was dragged to a safe place. She said that her father shot her and her mother” of her.
Inside the home, officers found the body of Tina Lanis, 56, Igor’s dead wife, shot multiple times in the back. She looked like she had tried to escape from her. On the other hand, Rachel Lanis suffered gunshot wounds to her back and legs. Her condition is now stable, police confirmed.
Rebecca Lanis, the youngest daughter who escaped the tragedy, lamented that QAnon and his wild theories were a major factor in this devastating incident. But after former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, his “mental health took a turn for the worse.” According to Rebecca Lanis, he “was drawn to conspiracy theories. He insisted that family members watch videos of conspiracy theories about 5G cell towers, vaccines, and elections. He began to believe that some leaders worlds were, in fact, alien lizards people in disguise, a fringe conspiracy theory even among QAnon supporters”. Family members reportedly tried to get him to abandon these beliefs, but arguing with him was “futile”, Rebecca revealed.
Rebecca was in shock when she found out about her mother’s death. She told CBS7: “It was like I was in a movie or a nightmare or something. How could this happen to me? I had such a close bond with my mom, and I just can’t believe she’s not here.” . Rebecca Lanis says her father’s story is a warning to others to seek help for loved ones showing signs of radicalization.
“I think people need to focus more on radicalization, QAnon. If they have family members with guns who are like that, you need help for them and they should be put in a mental institution, even if you think they are not dangerous,” she said.
