It's kind of relevant, for anyone not familiar with with the details, that his death (likely suicide) had nothing to do with the witch hunt.


I do not know what his state of mind was before his name & picture were splashed across every media outlet in the world, but I would presume that stress had an affect.


He went missing before the bombing.

> Tripathi had been missing for a month prior to the April 15, 2013 bombings.


I noted the downvotes and went investigating.

"[His] body was found... April 23, 2013."

He was identified by dental records, so body was decomposed &/or carrion, is there any information that suggests he was dead prior to 4/15?

So the two middle eastern fellas in running attire w/ backpacks didn`t turn out to be Tripathi, as I assumed. I am assuming again, but I bet they felt some consternation at being accused. Wasn`t another person falsely identified, as well? My point stands.
