The two liters of blood were found in his pleural cavity, for both lungs, and the cause of death seems likely to be respiratory failure.

Another point on the remarks about TM having only a small abrasion on his left hand, there would be no visible swelling due to his body having stopped functioning before any type of the natural body repair mechanisms kicked in.
Also, the comments about GZ not having enough blood on him, I think people have forgotten it was raining and would, naturally, wash some of that blood away.

PO, I'm not able to follow this on TV, so the only stuff I hear about this case is mainly on this forum. I'm not sure about how TM was situated when he was shot, but I'm thinking he wasn't laying right on GZ. To shoot someone when they are laying on you is about impossible, it would seem.
I'm thinking TM was on his knees, straddling GZ while assaulting him and when he was shot, it could be possible that he fell back or to the side. If that happened, there wouldn't be blood on GZ, especially since TM had a hoodie on as well. Do you think that's accurate assuming?
