Any chance that video of him being beheaded was faked?
Others (here) have pointed out that no blood was rushing out, as there should have been when under stress. (I haven’t seen that particular video). That said, a severed head lies on what appears to be Foley’s back. (The manner in which Islamist State has presented beheaded bodies previously). One would have to recognize Foley’s face to know. It’s close. :(
