Did anybody see the Kilkenny people paper today? Why did they feel it necessary to put a big picture of the poor fella who died in the river on the front page? It showed him lying dead in the river, whats up with that? Have they no respect, it sickened me and as someone who lost a family member in a drowning it really…

v bad taste of the Kilkenny people, my heart goes out to this poor family.

It's heartbreaking enough their recent loss without the paper printing his final moments as it were, did they ever hear of respect for the dead?

I agree - absolutely shocking journalism. The paper should be ashamed of itself and no apology will take away the disgust of the readership and more importantly the relatives.

Speaking of apologies, they printed a small one below the fold on the front page today.

By this time next week it'll have been forgotten by everyone apart from that poor guy's family. Unfortunately, it's symptomatic of the lowering standards in journalism these days.
