thisfantasticvoyage the photo's can make thinks worse. Her family might not even be aware of them right now, I know when my children died I was completely unaware of most things outside of my immediate grief for weeks.
My children died as babies, they weren't famous and I would hope that nobody took photographs of them in bodybags or coffins but even if they had done so at the hospital, for whatever reason, there's little chance of them being made public or of me seeing them unexpectedly years from now.
Amy Winehouse was famous. Her picture will crop up in years to come, probably the next time there is another tragic death of this type. And it will be on the internet forever.
If her parents ever feel the need to google her name and look at tribute sites or news articles of happier times that photo will be waiting for them somewhere at some time.
On the other hand they may have seen it today and it's become another weight of grief on their shoulders, knowing that their daughter had no privacy even in death, knowing that some shitty pap photographer made money from a shot of her body being removed from her home, knowing that every ghoulish freak in the world has seen it and so has everyone else, even if like the OP, they didn't want to.
This disrespect to her and her family is enormous and as this thread has shown, they cannot justify it by saying it's what the readers want because for the most part it isn't.
You can't say "just don't buy the paper if you don't like it" when we are still confronted by the images in the shops and on TV. And many people have their paper delivered so would not have the choice but to receive that one particular copy.
In fairness, I can't honestly claim to know what Amy's parents will feel about the photo, but I'd bet my house that they aren't delighted to see that particular picture of her in the press. And as a bereaved parent I will say that I myself and the other people I have since met who have suffered the loss of a child or children tend to feel incredibly protective of those lost children and do feel hurt by slights to their memory, which is what this photograph is in my eyes.
You want the world to remember the perfect, beautiful child you loved and that doesn't include having a pack of rabid photographers fighting for the money shot of their body in a bag.
