Dumb. Jesus was taken down from the cross. Why would anyone expect he was laid flat on the ground, and not wrapped in the shroud as he was taken down from the cross? What the researcher means is “the blood flows don’t match the way I wrapped him.”

Jesus was Jewish. Jews then, as now, wash a body as part of the preparation for burial, as a way of showing honor and dignity to the vessel that carried a person’s soul for a human lifetime (however long or short). A washed body that doesn’t have a beating heart, and which had a serious blood loss before death, isn’t going to leak as you think it would, if at all.
Either you believe in Jesus’ divinity, or you don’t. Why do you depend on what a particular piece of cloth may (or may not) indicate?
