An Alleged Osama bin Laden Death Photo Spread Online on May 1, 2011. Is It Real of Fake? Spoiler: It's Probably a Hoax

Hours after it was announced that Osama bin Laden was dead, an alleged Osama bin Laden death photo was floating around the web.

The Osama bin Laden death photo that was circulating online may or may not be authentic. It has not been verified by any official sources. Instead, it has spread on Twitter and other websites.

Is the May 1 Osama bin Laden death photo real of fake?

Odds are, it is almost certainly a hoax.

MSNBC did a good job breaking down the Osama bin Laden death photo and concludes that is fake.

An official Osama bin Laden death photo will likely be released at some point. Many have noted that deaths photos are often released after major criminals are killed. For instance, photos were released after the death of militant Islamist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Such photos are used to prove that the person in question is in fact dead.

Here is an alleged Osama bin Laden death photo. Take it with a grain of salt. Also, be warned that the photo is graphic.

Right of Information Act? We are suppose to see the No. 1 Terrorist after a chase of 10 years and the US Military Dumps the body in the Sea within 24 Hours Huh? We need to see the real footage in HD of his burrial in the SEA? According to Islamic Rights he should be buried on the Land and not in Sea?? It seems a huge mistake on US Military side to expose their dirty games!

I think him being dead is a total lie. The government lies about eveything and hide's everything as well. Why the hell would you care about someone's religion when they killed over three thousand people? And like someone said before, he was suppose to be buried six feet under. Who cares if someone pissed on his grave?! This whole death situation is bull.
