on the news, that steve irwins death was caught on camera? He was filmed seconds before death desperatly trying to get the stingray's barb out of his heart. It will be used for coroner purposes but how long do you think it will be before it's being shown on the bbc? surely they have respect for his family?

I was in the Q in Sainsbury's just now and this was on the front of the incredibly informative "Daily Star". It said that Steve had ademently expressed if he should die whilst filming he wanted the film to be shown. According to the Star (obviously incredibly factual) the Irwin family are in talks to show it on TV globally.
I can see it oppening a huge can of worms, do we really need to see anyone's death on TV. Surley the family should keep this to themselves.

I totally understand that by human nature we are all inquisitive. However one of his close friends (a big man) was crying on the news this morning explaining how difficult and upsetting it was to watch to watch him dying. Seems sad that they would release this to the world. I think it should be kept private.
�The footage was being studied by police last night. Irwin always told film crews to keep shooting even if it looked like he was going to come off worst in a croc or shark attack�

I dont know if I could actually watch it or not?
If they did show it, it would probably be on late at night because it would be too much for children to watch.
Then there would be the big public debate should they or shouldnt they. you can almost hear Mary Whitehouse turning in her grave over this one.

It would not be the first time that consent is given to show the death of someone, whoever they are...
Classic example one of the charriot riders in Ben Hur, fell off the charriot and was trampled to death by the other horses...his widow requested that it remain in the film...
Several years ago, at an air display, a heicopter was landing (I think it was in difficulty) and somebody who went forward to try and help the crew misjudged the rotors, and the blades cut him in half. Again, his widow gave her permission for it to be shown on the TV News...
