Bloodstains  

There are a number of very noticeable bloodstains on the cloth. They are particularly pronounced around the top of the head, on one visible wrist and on the man’s arms and feet. There is a distinct and large bloodstain on the side of the man’s chest. Where the backside image appears on the cloth, near the small of the man’s back, there is a large bloodstain that looks like a puddle. It looks like, and it may well be, that blood from the chest wound ran around the side of the body and pooled on the cloth.
