BOSTON (AP) — A funeral home has claimed the body of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a gunbattle with police after an intense manhunt.
Department of Public Safety spokesman Terrel Harris said Thursday a funeral home retained by Tsarnaev’s family picked up the 26-year-old’s remains.
Authorities are now closer to being able to make public Tsarnaev’s cause of death.
The medical examiner determined Tsarnaev’s cause of death on Monday, but officials said it wouldn’t be disclosed until his remains were released and a death certificate was filed. It was unclear whether the death certificate had been filed.
Tsarnaev’s widow, Katherine Russell, who has been living with her parents in North Kingstown, R.I., learned this week that the medical examiner was ready to release his body and wanted it turned over to his side of the family, her attorney Amato DeLuca said days ago.
