23. The body was in rigor mortis and was not yet decomposing...
...and if the man had died on his back, the blood would have pooled internally along his ENTIRE back, not just certain areas around his kidneys, waist, and upper back. Additionally, there appears to be bruising around the one wrist that is visible which indicates the presence of some kind of binding, probably those plastic "handcuffs" we've seen so often on television over the last few years.

His legs and and head appear to be quite dark, indicating either heavy bruising and/or the pooling of blood in those areas after death. It's possible that the man was lying on a short slatted bench that supported only his back while his head and legs dangled over the ends of the bench.

It may also be posible that the man died while resting on his front, with his head and legs dangling, and was later turned over onto a slatted bench sometime after his death, and sometime prior to the onset of rigor mortis.
