I agree that the sheer volume of not completely airtight reasons detracted from its cogency and echoes the style of "conspiracy theories".

But for me there was a very solid point that seals the deal: zooming in on the high-resolution source, there were no visible sign of wounds. The blood trickles appear out of nowhere. His "second opinions" agreed on this point as well.

It's clearly a fake. The photographer may or may not have been in on it, but the woman sure was.
