Tsarnaev Buried: Boston Bombing Suspect's Body Buried in Undisclosed Location

The deceased suspect involved in the Boston Marathon bombings has been buried in an unnamed location just outside Worcester, Massachusetts, Thursday.

According to police that spoke to CBS News, it was difficult to find a location where citizens were willing to house the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who, with the aid of his brother Dzhokhar, placed pressure cooker bombs at the marathon's finish line, killing three and injuring around 260.

Tamerlan was killed during a shoot-out car chase with police, as the two brothers were trying to escape the clutches of the law.

Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst of the Worcester police said that the body merely passed through Worcester, and has now been consigned to a grave, although he did not specify where.

Tamerlan's body was first at the Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlor, waiting to be transferred to a burial site.

But that move proved more difficult than Director Peter Stefan anticipated, as they could not find a community that would take the body, including Cambridge, the city in which the Tsarnaev family dwelled for 10 years.

After being examined by state medical officials, Tamerlan's body was released from government custody May 1. His remains have been in limbo ever since.

Tamerlan's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni had custody of the body but was not able to bury his nephew in Massachusetts due to widespread protests.

The founder of a Colorado mosque in the Denver area offered to take in Tamerlan's body on Monday, saying he would pay for a traditional Muslim burial and plot at a cemetery.

But that won't be necessary, Hazelhurst said, after Worcester police issued a statement confirming a found location for Tsarnaev's body.

"As a result of our public appeal for help, a courageous and compassionate individual came forward to provide the assistance needed to properly bury the deceased," it read.
