We are not publishing the details of the Pulse victims' autopsies out of respect for their families.
The Orange County Medical Examiner's Office said the autopsy reports will be made in increments. The release process for Friday was scheduled to end at 5 p.m., and it will resume Monday morning.
The decision to release the information was made after numerous public records requests. Officials say family members of the victims were notified it would happen.
More than 50 other people were also injured in the shooting. Review boards met Thursday to discuss how money from fundraising efforts will be dispersed to families of the victims.
