    I thought the name wouldnt be released until 24 hours after the final notice was delivered to his kin?

        Well I don’t think it’s a resource or methodology issue, rather more of a glaring ethical one.

          The dead person themselves wanted their death to be reported. It feels like worse ethics to deny them their voice in their final act.

          But anyway, I saw posts yesterday with the video that had received consent from the family to release it as long as his death itself was blurred. They may not understand his act, but they believe he deserves to be seen.

            There could be 100,000 journalists with ethics. All it takes is one without and its a race to the bottom.
