Re: [Leica] photographing dead people.....

You should only photograph dead people if you want to or have a good reason.
I believe that anything that happens in public is fair game for the 
photographer.  Or you could have a situation like France, where everyone  has 
a right to his or her image and can sue successfully for any unreleased use 
of that image-- in any context, news or otherwise.  That's a strange thing in 
the land that gave birth to photojournalism and street photography.   I 
understand crime and accident victims have sued successfully; perhaps the 
estates of the dead folks  can sue as well.
