I saw an interview awhile back with Joaquin talking about that photo and how angry he still is about it. Can't say I blame him. No matter how his brother died, he and his family deserved more dignity than that. So I guess I understand what he's saying...if it had happened now, that picture would be on every celeb website in the world.
Yeh i agree with you, I remember seeing a picture of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes from TLC lying dead in a casket on some celebrity blog. Its only because blogs so popular that people were able to see it. Had she died 10 -20 years ago this would have not happened.

BTW i totoally regret stumbling on that picture, its not nice to see a dead person.
