An alleged autopsy photograph of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was leaked on Friday after he was mortally wounded in a firefight with police and then reportedly run over by his younger brother.
The victim, identified by the FBI as 'Suspect 1' wearing a black hat in the marathon bombings, arrived at Beth Israel Deconess Medical center around 1:20 a.m. Friday following a violent exchange of gunfire with police, during which he and his brother, Dzhokhar, 19, hurled explosives at officers.
One witness of the firefight in which Tamerlan was mortally wounded said the younger brother made his getaway in an SUV and that he ran over Tamerlan's body as he fled. A massive manhunt is underway in the greater Boston area to try and locate Dzhokhar, the younger brother, who is still at large.
