Snow:

But again if it were internal bleeding that began as a result of the
fall, would Dumbledore continue to bleed once his heart had stopped
previous to the fall due to the AK? If you throw a dead body a hundred
feet would fresh blood bleed from the mouth for a half an hour? If it
were not fresh blood then I would highly suspect that it could not be
removed by simply wiping it.

>From the text, we know that Harry can see Dumbledore's face, but
except for "the strange angle of his arms and legs", we are not told
anything about the attitude of the body. If his head were tilted to
one side or if the ground were sloping away, blood would drain by gravity.

I agree that there are a lot of suspicious circumstances surrounding
DD's death, but I don't think the blood on his face is one of them.  I
mean, from the shamefully little I remember about hemostasis from my
days as a med tech, I don't see the trickle of blood as being
inconsistant with a successful AK, although I personally lean toward a
failed AK myself (or even a faked one), for other reasons.
