Fans react to 'disgusting' photos of Liam's body
TMZ was first to report the singer's death, leaving fans horrified after publishing images of his body.
The site shared photos, showing the singer's tattoos, writing, "TMZ obtained a photo showing Liam's body on a wooden deck at the hotel with tables and chairs nearby. We're not showing the whole body, but you can clearly see his tattoos — a clock on his left forearm, and a scorpion on his abdomen."
Fans have been outraged, with one user writing on X, "There was no need to include those pictures."
"Y’all are insane for exposing his lifeless body in this article without cause or warning," another said.
"Respect his family, friends and fans. Delete that picture," someone else added.
One Facebook, one user wrote, "Those photos are SO disrespectful. This just happened. I would bet there are friends and family that haven’t been notified. Have some class TMZ. You can report without being absolutely disgusting about it."
"I think you guys should remove those photos," another said. "That is tasteless. Have some respect for his family and for his fans."
"Man you guys want to be the first and throw up identifying marks just to prove it," a third wrote. "I hope he has a family that sues the heck out of you all."
It appears TMZ has since removed the images of the One Direction singer's body.
