7. Naked guy was considered a possible suspect

Cops had him strip to determine that he had no explosives on his person. He was held briefly and released. No connection to the brothers.

was face down on the ground, not moving at all, with the cameras on him? He looked dead except the fingers on both hands were lifted above the ground.

13. That was a different one, I think -- kind of blond-ish? Flannel-looking shirt if I recall correctly

I think there were a couple of guys they checked out who wandered into the area they had shut down.

Think the naked guy looked more like the pics of the suspects (dark hair, anyway) so that's probably why they were extra cautious with him.

3. There is some media/witness video of the shootout scene

that ends with a shot of Tamerlan belly down and his arms spread on the pavement.

There's also a gruesome picture of him dead in the hospital. Looks like he has a nasty wound to the top of his head on top of a number of other wounds to his torso, shoulder & arms.

5. Shot by police...
Sun Apr 21, 2013, 02:43 PM
Apr 2013

after throwing a pressure cooker bomb at them, running out of ammo in his gun (don't know what type) and charging the police. Did he die from the bullet wounds? Don't know; his brother ran over him with a car as police were bent over Tamerlan trying to assist/check him out. When police saw the car coming at them, they got out of the way. Tamerlan may have been killed by his own brother.

9. It all started when he made the conscious decision to plant an IED at the Boston Marathon

Then when he was later apprehended and the police were attempting to cuff him his equally dumbassed little brother ran him over with a carjacked SUV as the cops jumped out of the path.

Poetic justice in a way.

10. Well, reportedly he was shot. Then tried to throw a device at police, but

device exploded in his hands. Then run over by his brother and dragged by a car.
So, what killed him? Take your pick.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev Injuries: Doctor Says Dead Bombing Suspect Had Wounds 'Head To Toe'

BOSTON — A doctor involved in treating the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died in a gunbattle with police says he had injuries head to toe and all limbs intact when he arrived at the hospital.

Dr. David Schoenfeld said 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was unconscious and had so many penetrating wounds when he arrived at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center early Friday that it isn't clear which ones killed him, and a medical examiner will have to determine the cause of death.

-snip-

The older Tsarnaev's clothes had been cut off by emergency responders at the scene, so if he had been wearing a vest with explosives, he wasn't by the time he arrived at the hospital, the doctor said.

"From head to toe, every region of his body had injuries," he said. "His legs and arms were intact – he wasn't blown into a million pieces" – but he lost a pulse and was in cardiac arrest, meaning his heart and circulation had stopped, so CPR, or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, was started.

Schoenfeld did not address police's assertion that Tsarnaev was run over by a car driven by his brother as he fled the gunfire.

14. Thanks. If even the doctors can't determine the cause of death, I guess I can stop

thinking that it was his brother running over him that did him in. We'll have to wait for the ME report, as your excerpt states.

the naked guy was executed by police


Police claim he died from injuries, even when he was clearly not injured in the naked photo


they executed him, and are now "chasing his brother"

18. Twitter witness link will show you the whole thing. This was on MSNBC.

I was up watching this guy's Twitter feed as he tweeted. Then MSNBC had him on the show maybe 5 minutes later. I was also listening to the police scanner at the same time. There is no conspiracy going on. He died because he charged them with a gun and a bomb strapped to his chest.
