Alleged Photo of Suspect 1 Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s Bloody Corpse Surfaces
Editor’s Note: The graphic photo
circulating on the Web claiming to show the body of Boston bombing
suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has not been officially confirmed. We have
blurred the image completely but link to the Reddit thread where the
photo is posted, which is extremely graphic.

The website TMZ and Twitter users are
spreading a photo allegedly showing the corpse of Boston bombing suspect
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed by police in Watertown,
Massachusetts, Thursday night.

The image purporting to show body of Tsarnaev, whose brother, the other suspect in the bombings, is still at large, is reported by TMZ to be “100 percent authentic,” according to its law enforcement sources. Its sources said they would be investigating who leaked the photo.
The image shows a bloody body with what
appears to be gunshot wounds. The body also has a large gaping hole in
the left rib cage, which Redditors speculate was the result of
a thoracotomy. According to the Surgery Encyclopedia, a thoracotomy can
be performed for various reasons to gain access to lungs, ribs, heart
or other organs in the chest cavity. Although lung cancer is the most
common reason for such a procedure, a resuscitative thoracotomy could be
performed to “control injury-related bleeding from the heart, cardiac
compressions to restore a normal heart rhythm, or to relieve pressure on
the heart…”.
Another Redditor, HeyItsTheChad,
claims that a “doctor friend” said the red on the body’s face is not
blood but “bruising,” which would be consistent with someone being run
over by a car. CNN reported that Tsarnaev exited the car stolen by he
and his brother, engaged in gunfire with authorities and was run over by
Dzhokar who drove away and was being hunted by police Friday.

TMZ went on to report the image first
surfaced on Reddit from a user of the social news site who said they
obtained the copy from a “friend.”
TMZ did not link the Reddit thread, but this appears to be the original post. The thread was started by the Redditor UncleLeosEyebrows who wrote:
Got this from a friend downtown. Haven’t seen it anywhere else yet. Not sure of validity. He would not tell me where he got it from
UncleLeosEyebrows went on to say he has tried to confirm the source.
We should note too that after the
death of a high-profile person fake, doctored photos showing the alleged
body have a tendency to surface. There were similar photos that came
out after the shooting of Osama bin Laden claiming to show his corpse.

combination of undated photos shows Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, left, and
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. The FBI says the two brothers and suspects in the
Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer, injured a transit
officer in a firefight and threw explosive devices at police during a
getaway attempt in a long night of violence that left Tamerlan dead and
Dzhokhar still at large on Friday, April 19, 2013. The ethnic Chechen
brothers lived in Dagestan, which borders the Chechnya region in
southern Russia. They lived near Boston and had been in the U.S. for
about a decade, one of their uncles reported said. (Photo: AP/The Lowell

It should also be noted that TMZ’s law enforcement sources might not be associated with the Boston case specifically.
