Hospital Denies Involvement In Leak Of Grisly Post-Mortem Photo Of Boston Marathon Bomb Suspect
The Smoking Gun ^

Posted on 04/20/2013 3:21:33 PM PDT by MarkBsnr

A grisly post-mortem photo of one of the suspected Boston Marathon bombers appears to have been taken early today after medical personnel turned the body over to law enforcement officials.

The image of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, began circulating online this afternoon after it was posted on popular web sites like Reddit and 4chan. The source of the photo remains unclear.

Seen above, the picture shows Tsarnaev--naked from the hip up--after he died at 1:35 AM at Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Tsarnaev was mortally wounded during a gun battle between him and his 19-year-old brother Dzhokar and police.

In an interview, Dr. Richard Wolfe, chief of the hospital’s emergency medicine department, said that he had seen the photo, but stressed that the image “was not taken during the medical procedures or when the medical team had control of the body.”

While Wolfe said that he would be greatly concerned “if it was a health care provider,” he flatly added that, at no point, did hospital staffers photograph Tsarnaev’s body.

Did you see the original picture? It was more like several fire hoses than a tube. (Maybe they were looking for a heart.)

I hope he came to long enough to realize he was in a Jewish hospital and there were Jews working on him.

Just curious as to who was paying for our terrorists way through medical school?

You and I are.

Schoenfeld said he couldn’t discuss specific treatments in the case except to say what is usually done in such circumstances, including putting a needle in the chest to relieve pressure that can damage blood vessels, and cutting open the chest and using rib-spreaders to let doctors drain blood in the sac around the heart that can put pressure on the heart and keep it from beating.

Cops said he tried to throw a pipe bomb that went off in his hand! If so he experienced the pain of explosion and shrapnel ripping through his chest. Can only hope!

I know something about this type of thing...having worked for years in the ER of a major Boston hospital.In fact...years after having left that job I still remember the Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s phone number (having called it so many times).Certainly under such a situation Beth Israel would *not* have done the autopsy on the terrorist.Either the Suffolk County ME would have taken custody of the remains or even the Feds would have taken custody (I never dealt with the Feds...only Suffolk County).

He drove over his brother...not backed over...the police had the older brother on the ground, he had gotten out of the car, and shooting, walked closer to the police ....he ran out of ammunition, they rushed him, while they had him on the ground securing him, the younger brother sped toward them...the police jumped but he drove straight over his brother...

Some are saying that's what caused his death....but will see once they report on his cause of death. Right now it's simply cardiac arrest.
