I fear people are getting just a tad oversensitive about the publication of these photo's due to it being "One of our own"
I don't remember anyone getting too upset about the still and moving images of 9-11, both the planes hitting and the people leaping from the building?
Just last week I watched a Discovery documentary about plane crashes, the one shown over and over in close up HD was the plane in Asia hitting an Uber taxi on a bridge first.
Then there was the General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan shooting picture that won the 1969 Pullitzer prize during the vietnam war, perhaps the most brutally graphic photo we've ever seen.

I don't doubt that the pics could cause distress to the families, but none of the photo's were obscene or showed anything personal or up close of the the sadly deceased.
It seems we're more than happy to digest others misery and death but just not our own?
