The suspects approached the MIT officer and shot him in head, the sources said. The two then stole the MIT officer's cruiser, robbed a nearby 7-11 and carjacked a Mercedes SUV, briefly kidnapping the driver, the sources said. At various points, the suspects threw explosives out the window of the moving car.
The dead suspect had an improvised explosive device strapped to his chest and the law enforcement sources warned that the suspect on the run may as well.

Read this from BBC (these were consecutive posts):
1028: Doctors say they cannot comment on whether the patient was one of the suspects. They say they "do not have any information about the deceased person". "All we know is he arrived in [cardiac] arrest here - we don't know what happened at the scene," Dr Richard Wolfe tells the conference.
1036: The information from the hospital strongly indicates that the man who died at Beth Israel overnight was the Boston bomb suspect who police say has now been killed.
- Sunil Tripathi is (assumed) the 2nd suspect at large. They never had a name for 1st suspect did they?********
- Dead guy could be 3rd suspect. These things just get thrown around as facts before any verification, sloppy********
- Now they're questioning if it really is that guyukit2

All news headlines are currently:
"ONE BOMBING SUSPECT KILLED, ONE STILL ON THE RUN"
To be clear:
- NO facts yet link the Marathon bombings to the MIT shooting.
- NOBODY yet knows who's responsible for Marathon bombings.The news channels make so many immediate assumptions to create a striking headline and weave a narrative.
NO FACTS link the bombings and the MIT shooting yet, so how are they "bombing suspects"??
- When the police says so you tend to believe them (if your tinfoil hat fell off that is).********
- They said they were chasing carjackers, on the working assumption they were related to Monday's bombings********
- Yet the news touts that as fact. The problem isn't a conspiracy, it's sloppy news channels trying to create ReTweetability********
- They identified the dead man as 1 of the 2 bombing suspects. That's specific enough for me.********
- We still don't know if the suspects are responsible for the bombings. But we do know that there are only 2.********
- How can they say he was a bombing suspect? Based on a photo of him wearing shades and a cap?********
- I give up. Fuck da police!********
- Lol. I'm just saying I watched the police briefing as it happened. They said it was an assumption at this point********

let's be honest, nobody knows what the hell is happening at the moment.
it's all just noise.
the meeeja should just calm the fuck down, and wait for some solid facts instead of just broadcasting all this ridiculous speculation.
- I'm just amazed how they get away with it. People blame New York Post, but they're all as bad as each other********

Any chance this guy got out the 20-block perimeter already?
How did he get away after the 1st guy was killed? On foot or in car?
- If CNN doesnt know, we dont know.CygnusZero4
- Surely they know how he escaped. That's kind of crucial information********
