[Photo]: Photo of Emiliano Sala’s corpse surfaces online, sparks outrage

The internet is abuzz with news following photos of the corpse of footballer Emiliano Sala’s surfacing online.

The photos show the body in a morgue and have since sparked outrage online as many are asking why such an image would be leaked.

The corpse of the 28-year-old Argentinian striker was taken to the Holly Tree Lodge mortuary in Bournemouth, Dorset, hours after it was found on February 6 following an extensive search.

A yet to be identified person, however, got photos of Sala’s corpse in the morgue and went on to share the photos on Twitter.

This horrid news is coming barely days after Sala’s father, Horacio Sala passed.

Recall we reported that Horaciodied of a heart attack barely 3 months after the passing of his football star son.

Dorset Police speaking on the leaked photos said; “We are aware that a picture reported to be of Mr Sala’s body has been shared on social media channels and are disgusted somebody did this.

“We are investigating this incident and working with a number of ­agencies to establish how the picture was taken and who is responsible.”
