Kobe Bryant passed away in a helicopter crash and some deputies appear to have shared unauthorized pictures.

Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna died tragically along with seven other people in a helicopter crash on January 26th. There have been numerous tributes to the victims since the accident and fans are still in mourning. Authorities have launched an investigation into the accident and are making sure that they get all the facts straight to determine what happened exactly.

It appears sadly that some may have taken advantage of the situation. Some deputies who were on the scene obtained unauthorized photographs of the gruesome crash site, including the victims ‘ remains according to the Los Angeles Times. Such pictures were supposed to have been shared among other officers, and were even addressed by first responders.

Thankfully, these photos haven’t been shared with the public and we sincerely hope it’s kept this way. The Sheriff’s Department was actually forced to contact the victims ‘ families to let them know there was an investigation into the case. Those families are still mourning and we can not imagine how they have been impacted by this latest development.

Meanwhile Vanessa Bryant has filed a lawsuit against the helicopter company that owned the destroyed aircraft.
