It's also worth noting that the type of herringbone weave in the Shroud is unheard of in textiles in First Century Israel , especially in burial shrouds. In addition, it's been tested multiple times and tested as being from the medieval era.
TL;DR: The Shroud of Turin is a lot less meaningful method of "proving" Christianity than it might seem at first glance.
Bodies don't bleed after death?

Gravity, son.... Gravity.
I have a big drip tray I put under the deer I butcher and hang in my walk in cooler.
They only quit dripping blood if I run the compressor too long and turn them into a Deersicle....
Good point, I phrased it poorly. That said, in the context of preparing a crucified body for burial (including washing), it still stands: once they clean the body, it's unlikely to bleed again once you wrap it in a shroud, particularly in the same sort of wounds inflicted during crucifixion, which is what the OP claimed.
