Roland Jarvis was shot by J.

Roland Jarvis was shot by J. Phillips and Hubert Farlowe. The actual bullet was, I think from Phillips’ gun. He was acting under orders from a mysterious source that most believe was A Detection Algorithm acting on her prime protocol (‘Maintaining the security of the Niantic Project and containing the possible threat of Exotic Matter'). 

Jarvis' corpse resisted post-mortem examination and reportedly ‘self-healed.’ That term is a bit deceptive. Changes made to his body during the course of the post-mortem simply... became undone. (See my bit about theories at the end of this post).

His body was transported in a vehicle believed to be known now as November Lima 1331 to the CDC. From there, my understanding is that the corpse was spirited away to an unknown destination. 

There are conflicting theories as to whether the Roland Jarvis who appeared at 13MAGNUS was Jarvis reunited with his former body or... a simulacrum.

My suspicion is that his corpse is still extant at an unknown location (The Compound? Seems likely..).  It is also known that 1331 (either because of the prolonged exposure to Jarvis' body or due to advanced XM technology in the van) has unknown and mysterious capabilities. If I had to guess, it's probably both. The NIA would have been quick to find a way to exploit the strange properties Jarvis' body imparted on the vehicle.

To be fair, things started to get weird with Jarvis even before his death in Zurich. His voice began to appear in the Ingress Scanner without him being aware of it.

I have my own theories as to why this is, but I'll keep them to myself. I'm neither well versed nor articulate enough to get them across clearly. Suffice it to say, time and reality are messy concepts in the quantum world.
