Post Illegal Use of Scanner?

Following the tragedy at the Isle of Man with a BE58 crashing into the sea yesterday a Manx local tabloid newspaper has carried a front page story purporting to be an eye witness account of the incident.
The witness openly confesses that she heard the aircrafts distress call on a scanner and has given the details to all and sundry.
Surely this is illegal, if not showing a high lack of morality and compassion for the grieving relatives?
