Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Injuries: Boston Bombing Suspect Shot In The Face, Say Doctors [VIDEO]

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 20-year-old Boston Bombing suspect, suffered severe injuries during the shootout with police that led to his brother Tamerlan's death. Among his injuries were a fracture to the skull and a gunshot wound to the face. The details surfaced when court documents containing information about his injuries became newly unsealed earlier this week. The documents show that the suspect, who was killed in April, bled from multiple wounds, but the most serious was the injury to the face. A bullet appears to have entered through the inside of his mouth before exiting from the left side of his face, according to the documents.

"He has multiple gunshot wounds, the most severe of which appears to have entered through the left side inside of his mouth and exited the left face, lower face," Stephen Ray Odom, a trauma surgeon who treated Tsarnaev, said in a testimony three days after the incident in which his older brother was killed. The testimony where the surgeoun discussed Dzhokhar's wounds was unsealed by Boston federal court Monday. It does not specify if the wound was self-inflicted or not. Dzhokhar suffered from "multiple gunshot wounds to the extremities," which were treated with bandages and a series of pain killers, Odom said.

"This was a high-powered injury that has resulted in skull-base fracture, with injuries to middle ear, the skull base, the lateral portion of his C1 vertebrae, with significant soft-tissue injury," said Odom, who treated the suspect's wounds at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. "As well as injury to the pharynx, the mouth, and a small vascular injury that's been treated." The documents show that federal investigators were allowed to speak to the wounded suspect for two days without reading him his Miranda Rights due to a public safety exception.

Dzhokhar is accused of planting two homemade bombs at the Boston Marathon proceedings, which exploded at the finish line, killing three people and wounding 260. He was found after the shootout that led to his brother's death hiding in a boat in Watertown, Mass. He pleaded not guilty to the 30 counts, including using weapons of mass destruction, lauded against him. He remains hospitalized at a prison medical facility, Federal Medical Center in Devens, Mass. If found guilty, he could be facing a death sentence.
