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 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.
