Looks fake.
... The body proportion looks off. I could be wrong though.
I would think a dead man’s muscles would not allow him to hold his mouth shut.
But then again, lame ducks do a lot of talking these days.
A lot of camera phones being brandished in this pic; and I agree that it looks fake.

FAKE. A few images down on the above website is a photo of khaddaffy dead duck. They used it and put Assad’s head on it.
to this picture. (dead Gaddafi)Thought Assad had a neck like a giraffe ?
Not bad photoshop work.They cover up some sloppiness by blurring the whole photo. They got the shadows and lighting right and blended in the head pretty good, the problem is the way the dark skin borders the blood stain on the neck. The dead photo of Gaddafi nails it as a fake though.
