Updated: Photo of Dead Osama bin Laden is Fake; Identity Confirmed with DNA from Sister

Update 2: A new purported death photo of bin Laden has been released, viewable here.

Update 1: Hat-tip to a commenter for providing evidence that the above photo is, as expected, a fake. If you're still interested in seeing the fake you can do so by clicking 'Read more' below.

Osama bin Laden's identity was confirmed with DNA from the brain of his late sister, who died of cancer in Boston. Her brain was preserved by the U.S. for the very purpose of one day identifying bin Laden's DNA.

Here is the alleged death photo that is flying around the internet, supposedly taken with a Marine's camera; the photo is also being shown on Pakistan TV.

(WARNING: graphic)

Confirmed: This photo is fake

There are more precise reports on where bin Laden was shot. Previously it had been reported that bin Laden was shot in the head but new reports are saying he was in fact shot in the left eye, which would appear to agree with the below photo.

I suspect an official photo will ultimately have to be publicly released (or leaked), as was done with Saddam Hussein's sons and others. Hoax rumors are already running rampant here and strong evidence in the form of a photograph and/or other proof will help the U.S. put the conspiracy theories to rest.
