| Notice the dead fellow in the back getting up. Apparently he was a bit impatient, a bit like the “dead” Muhammad al Durah [6] looking up from under his elbow, when he’s supposed to be dead. And the photo editor of the Washington Post apparently didn’t notice that there was a problem with what the folks back home were informed about what was going on in this picture. ([7] Charles Enderlin would say it’s death throes.) (Great Picture at the link.) |

| #2 He's still dead. What is seen as "getting up" under the sheet is his arm raised in rigor mortis. The same body is on the left: ghaliboun.net |

| #1 There are several photos of that person from different angles with some time lapse. What we see here is rigor morits with some good refrigeration prior to placement. From the size of shadows I'd say the time would be about 9:00-10:00 in the morning, a bit too early for rigor mortis to set in. |
