Reddit users are sharing the autopsy report for Kobe Bryant. People have been requesting that the pictures be removed from the web.
However, his wife, Vanessa Bryant, is suing for an undisclosed amount of money since photos of his body were taken after he and his daughter, along with seven other people, were murdered in a helicopter crash.
She is suing the sheriff’s office and the fire department of Los Angeles County for invasion of privacy.
Reddit’s Kobe Bryant autopsy report
On January 26, 2020, a helicopter crashed and seven people perished, including Kobe Bryant and his teenage daughter. The event is remembered as a tragic day in sports history.
Tragically, a legend was lost to the world. His death was caused by significant brain damage, and the postmortem report revealed that he had 30% burns and had been subjected to brutal trauma.
His autopsy report’s photographs have just surfaced on Reddit, revealing that various body parts were also severed from him. Several people have shared the images online.
Some fans have been incensed after discovering the photographs online. They contend that it is shameful and fervently desire its removal.
Additionally, his wife, Vanessa Bryant, has sued the Los Angeles County sheriff’s office and the fire department on allegations that they took unauthorized images of people who had died at the scene of an accident or crime and shared them with the public.
Reactions on Twitter to the Kobe Bryants sketch photos
People have urged other internet users to refrain from disseminating the drawing images of Kobe Bryant’s autopsy report. The images have recently gone viral on well-known social media sites like Twitter and Reddit.
The pictures have been shared online or widely circulated. Three months after the accident, the report’s executive summary was also made public.
But now, sketches showing the location of his burns and the fragmented portion of his body have appeared online. Fans claim that this type of depiction causes the deceased’s family pain and emotional trauma.
People have therefore urged everyone to respect the deceased and avoid sharing those upsetting photographs.
Kobe Bryant’s Dead Body Photos Trial Begins
On Wednesday, a privacy invasion trial involving the Los Angeles County sheriff’s and fire departments was held in a U.S. District Court. Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, alleged that deputies did not take the photographs for use in an investigation but rather shared them with the firefighters who arrived at the scene of the event on January 26, 2020.
The photographs were displayed by a deputy to bar patrons and by a firefighter to off-duty employees, claims the lawsuit. Vanessa broke down when the bartender Victor Gutierrez was asked if he had seen the body of her daughter in the photos.
According to CNN, when Vanessa overheard the bartender recounting what he had seen, she started to cry, stood up, and her lawyer begged the presiding judge to allow her to leave the courtroom.
Tragically, Kobe Bryant and his daughter died in 2020.
The September 2020 lawsuit alleges civil rights breaches, negligence, emotional distress, and privacy issues in addition to seeking unspecified damages.
According to Vanessa’s attorney, there is a good chance that these pictures will appear online. Additionally, the family of the deceased would experience emotional distress if it did occur. But the sheriff had claimed in March 2020 that every photo of the incident in the cops’ possession had been deleted.
