Tamerlan Tsarnaev's Cause of Death Won't Be Released Until Body is Claimed

But we can venture a guess ...

|

Authorities say the medical examiner has determined the cause of death for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, but the information will remain private until his remains are released and a death certificate is filed.

His cause of death was determined Monday.

But Tsarnaev's body remains unclaimed. His father has postponed a trip from Russia because of health issues; and it's likely that his mother would be detained for questioning if she decided to return to the U.S.
