I would consider it pretty insensitive towards the family and friends of the deceased. It seems anything goes if it means selling a story. My brother died in an airshow flying accident nearly 5 years ago. They (ie the news media) were broadcasting the video on the national news within 40 minutes. The families hadn't even been informed yet at that point in time. They usually don't care about such small details of decency though. I'm glad someone saw fit to take the photo down in this case.
