Note the position of his fingers. They're still mostly curled, like the man's hands on the left. One would think that if he was completely knocked out, his hands would have relaxed.
The man in black standing over him has his hand on the soldier's chest, as though he's checking the man's heart.
Good point. It's not just his fingers. His body looks stiffened like his muscles are tensed because laying on stairs is very uncomfortable. You'd think they'd be checking for head injury on someone who passed out on stairs. The worst way to fall is backwards because that can injury the spine and back of the skull.
His head is in midair, too, not on the step, otherwise it would be tilted backwards and below his shoulders, which are above the step.
What's in his right hand?
I don't think there's anything in his right hand. Soldiers are taught to stand at attention as though they have a roll of coins in each hand. The soldier on the right is demonstrating this. The man that passed out was doing the same thing, and so his fingers are still partially curled up.
I see; you're right.
