A gruesome death photo of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has surfaced online … and law enforcement sources tell TMZ it’s 100% authentic.

The photo first appeared on Reddit moments ago … posted by someone who claims the photo was obtained by a “friend” who works downtown. The picture shows the lifeless corpse of 26-year-old Tamerlan laying on a table. The body has multiple bullet wounds … as well as a gigantic gash along his chest rib cage area.

The body is covered in blood … especially in the facial region. In the death photo, Tamerlan’s mouth and eyes are open wide. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the photo is authentic. One source tells us officials are investigating to find out who leaked the picture. Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police in Watertown, Massachusetts early this morning.

His 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar is on the run. Both are suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing that killed 3 people and injured nearly 200 more.
