He graduated from the university in 2006, and had been enrolled as a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign since the spring of 2007. He was 27 when he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after killing five and wounding sixteen other people on the NIU campus.
[
In 2006, Kazmierczak, with two other graduate students and under the lead authorship of a sociology professor, had co-authored an academic paper entitled, "Self-injury in Correctional Settings: 'Pathology' of Prisons or of Prisoners?"; it was published in the academic journal Criminology & Public Policy.
Kazmierczak died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. ABC News reports that his behavior seemed to become more erratic in the weeks leading up to the shooting, and that it is believed he stopped taking medication beforehand. His girlfriend, Jessica Baty, confirmed that Kazmierczak had stopped taking an antidepressant three weeks before the shooting, but denied that his behavior had become erratic. Since the shooting, authorities have intercepted a number of packages he sent to her, which included such items as a gun holster and bullets, a textbook on serial killers for her class, the book The Antichrist by Nietzsche, and a final note written for her. The shooting was baffling to those who knew him, as he appeared outgoing and never appeared to have social problems. This has also confused investigators, who have not found a suicide note.

Inquiries by Mig Greengard confirmed that Fischer was hospitalized, but all other details were impossible to verify. Robert James Fischer died at the age of 64 in his home in Reykjavík. He died of kidney failure, caused by an unknown sickness. Einar Einarsson, the chairman of a Fischer support group in Iceland was the one who announced Fischer's cause of death. "He was not a man who wanted to seek medical attention. He didn't believe in Western medicine" stated Einarsson in reference to Fischer's passing. Fischer was never married nor had any children and has therefore left no immediate survivors. Fischer stayed at a Reykjavík hospital in October and November and at his home in December, until his death in January.
