    i believe it was the post who very prominently ran a photo of connor clapton laying dead on a rooftop after falling out of his apartment window. can't remember if it was on the front page but it was large.
     
  2. I've seen a certain south of boston newspaper run body-in-an-open-coffin shots on two occasions after the deceased was shot or otherwise murdered. Totally classless, tasteless intrusion on a family--no matter if the family gave permission. Totally crass to even consider this as an option.
    This Post pic is equally disturbing and intrusive. God forbid you put the camera down and help somehow. Human first, photog second. What if this were a car wreck and the photog is on the scene before medics. Does he snap a few first then try mouth to mouth or pull the victim out of a burning car. This is horrendous, sensationalistic crap at its stinkiest.
