That image is a .bmp that is an indexed RGB image. The intensities appear to be stored as 8 bits per component, and are retrieved by imread as integers divided by 255. The maximum number of bits per component that the BMP file format can store in indexed images is 8.
The image appears to be read correctly by imread(): the file itself appears not to be what you expect it to be.
