There are 2 other abnormalities in the first set of photos- the postmortem photos posted on the Daily Mail as " Autopsy Photos" provided by family from coroner in Mexico.
1) First photo- This is the posterior head, neck and shoulders showing a fireman's tattoo, and reddened areas.
Look at the background. It is of a tiled WALL. The man is standing in the corner, because both walls are different. There is a sheet loosely in front of his anterior chest if you look closely. This is to simulate an autopsy table ( badly). One takes photos of a corpse in prone and supine positions, meaning they are placed on their back, then are lying on their abdomen.
NOT standing up. A deceased person cannot stand, of course. Propping a body up is extremely disrespectful and could also easily fall and injure the corpse, in which case they really would have their hands full from the family attorneys.
The person in the photo has to be standing up against a tiled section of a wall. The autopsy table is metal, possibly covered in plastic, with numerous buckets and weights for measuring the weight of internal organs.
There is NO WAY to keep the blood and body fluids inside a decaying body out of TILE GROUT.
This photo must be a fake. A live man was photographed. The tattoo may be superimposed on the photo in the correct location. Note it is not scraped or damaged. This is my opinion but it is also common sense.
Second error is glaring and I don't know why I didn't see this. His hand is NOT flexed naturally.
It is my firm belief that a live person is holding a folded sheet or small pillow, likely with the photo taken prematurely.
A deceased person cannot HOLD anything. His hands would have been placed in a neutral position for photography. What is the point of this photo? All I can say is that this is the hand of a person with circulation to the fingers and fingernails. There is no cyanosis or hypoxic change found postmortem. ( Blue color and paleness of the hand).
The grasping of the object on the table is a mistake. Likely the male photography model was also the assistant present.
Look closely, everyone. I have stated why the window photos are not true to what one would see with the arms hanging out the window and a man with a large behind and wearing long dark pants shown from behind.
This is FUBARed, IMO. I do not trust the integrity of the photos, and none of us TRULY know the source or sources or the reason for their publication in tabloid style popular sites.
A man who helped others has died, and he deserves respectful honesty, not possibly manufactured sensationalistic photographs purported to be of his dead body. I'm not sure he was ever close to a window now. I'm also not sure he was out of his hotel room late at night either. This is JMO, and this is as honest as I can be, and be true to myself and to you about what I wrote yesterday about the injuries. It could all be digital manipulation using a live male of the approximate size of Mr. Snow. Makeup used in hairy areas to simulate bruising.
I am choosing to err on the side of the deceased victim and of caution.
