They flashed back and forth between Leland and Bob screaming AFTER the
sprinklers came on, so Bob was still there.

WHO smashed Leland's head into the door, I can't figure out.  BOB had
told Cooper to "watch Leland when I pull the plug" (or words to that
effect), which could mean several things:

1)  Bob made Leland kill himself so Bob could leave

2)  Bob made Leland kill himself just for kicks--it wasn't necessary
    in order for Bob to leave his host

3)  After Bob left, Leland remembered everything he'd done and killed 
    himself.
