Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev died from bullet wounds to his torso and extremities and blunt trauma to his head and body, according to the death certificate.
Tsarnaev, 26, was pronounced dead at 1:35 a.m. ET on April 19, four days after the twin bombings that killed four and wounded 264 others. He was shot during a gun battle with police in the Boston suburb of Watertown, then run over and dragged by his 19-year-old brother, Dzhokhar, as he fled in a stolen car.
The owner of the Worcester, Mass., funeral home where his body is being prepared for burial shared the certificate to reporters, according to news reports.
