The body of a Canadian killed by ISIL six months ago was covered with cigarette burns and bruises, according to the autopsy report sent to the family by Global Affairs Canada. But those familiar with the details believe it is more likely ISIL fighters mutilated his body after he was killed on Dec. 21 in Syria’s Raqqa province. Tassone, 24, was one of the hundreds of international volunteers helping Kurdish forces battle ISIL. Former ISIL members have alleged the terrorist group had cut up corpses and dragged them behind vehicles. The autopsy report is striking for the long list of wounds noted by the coroner, from a broken rib and nose to bruises, “cigarette marks” and indications that his wrists had been bound.
