Michael Babock, TMZ's Executive Producer, has defended the outlet's choice to post photographs of Liam Payne's body following the singer's horrific death on Wednesday.
As the world mourns the loss of much-loved musician Liam Payne , an executive producer at TMZ has defended the news outlet's choice to publish photographs online of the star's body shortly after he fell over 40ft from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Another user said: "TMZ posting part of a photo of Liam Payne’s dead body in an article announcing his death is beyond deplorable. I can’t tell if I’m losing my mind lately or if society has always been this overtly morally decrepit." He said: "There's a balance, and that's obviously a conversation that newsrooms across the world have – you want to be sensitive to the family and to the friends and also while working a news story.
Liam Payne news Fans were, however, unmoved by the justification, with one writing in the YouTube comments of the video clip: "Are they really still trying to justify putting pictures of a dead body on their website?"
