I can’t absolutely tell if his eyes are open or closed when he’s flung over the shoulder, but they look more open (like in the other two). Rigor mortis sets in first in the eyelids and neck. I would say he is already dead in the photos.
Ah maybe you’re right. And now that I think about it.. even if they were closed in the over the shoulder pic.. the eyeslids could have moved when he was moved.
All those guys in the video dragging him out, none seem to be coughing and it doesn’t look smokey to me. You may be right. He may have been deceased for hours and when the “smoke” cleared hours later, they took him out. Since the Govt. isn’t going to tell the truth on this, we may never know. I’m hoping that the rank and file diplomatic core are disgusted enough with this and knowing they could be offered up next, they will leak like crazy.
