A corpse appears on Facebook: a New York City EMT uploaded a murder victim's photo to his account.
Does this Gothicize Facebook's reputation? Curiously, the CNN piece doesn't pursue that line. Instead, the focus is on the uploader's actions and intent: was it accidental or deliberate, what's the living guy like, etc.
According to Musarella's lawyer, Edward J. Pavia Jr., the appearance of the photo on the social networking site was a technical mistake and not a morbid act. Pavia said years of working as a detective instinctively led Musarella to take the picture after he was called to the scene of the death.
