is it okay to click picture of a dead body?

State your opinion... This has been happened so many times. do you think media/ people need to draw a line? If you have equipment and cameras to capture a moment that doesnt mean you will capture every moment ie, Sridevi's pics

I've always expressed my dissatisfaction with the media during times like these. The media has every opportunity to click pics anywhere else, but these are personal and private moments meant for grieving. I understand when your a celebrity, your life is an open book. But this is not the occasion to take pics of anyone. You can give it a rest during times like these. I wish these media people would show a little bit of humanity during this time. It's disgusting the way they are constantly flashing pictures of each and every celebrity. You can see the discomfort on most of these celebrity's faces. So disrespectful of the media. But I guess this will never change. :(

No. Sridevi's face especially up close was such a violation. No one would have allowed a camera that close unless it was taken secretly which is a shame.

This has always been the case, has been happening for decades in our country - be it leaders, politicians, prime ministers (even if the death was tragic like assasination), actors and other luminaries...

Nobody breathed a word, but people are objecting now?

I always found it distasteful, but thought maybe it's our custom unlike in the west where they only show the closed coffin bcz the body is kept inside it

Not at all.

They take funeral pictures for the public who are not invited to the funeral.

I found it really disturbing and sad because it's closeup and maybe without consent..her daughters might see these pics in future and be heartbroken..if we had not seen these pics in our minds we had a laughing,dancing brilliant actress Sridevi..but now a lifeless Sridevi's photo is being circulated by Media on TV and internet making everybody sad..they might have shown it maybe for those who didn't see but still very sad and heartbreaking picture..Family should have posted the picture if they wanted to..not Media
