Authorities have said 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was blasted to death after murdering 84 people by running down in a hired lorry in Nice, in the south of France, last Thursday.



Footage had also already been released showing brave officers who cornered the lorry shooting at the truck's window dozens of times to kill the attacker.

In the clip after the shots were fired a slumped body is seen by the wheel.

But a video posted on YouTube the day after the attack by a conspiracy theorist claims to show Bouhlel alive and being dragged away by police officers.

It said: "The terrorist Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was captured alive."
