Nikki Catsouras’ Death Photos

Nikki Catsouras, died in a horrifying car crash in 2006. Days afterward, her father received an email with a picture of the bloody accident scene and the caption, “Woohoo! Hey daddy, I’m still alive.”

Writes Jessica Bennett for Newsweek, “From the beginning, Nikki’s death had all the makings of a sensational story. She was gorgeous; it was Halloween, and she was driving a $90,000 sports car.” But why did the nine photographs leaked from the scene of her accident become a sick, twisted internet phenomenon? [Warning: The pictures, should you search for them, are VERY graphic, and the family wishes you would not see them.]

California Highway Patrol apologized for the leaked pictures; two CHP dispatchers were to blame. One man’s attorney said that he sent the images to relatives and friends “as a cautionary tale” to warn them of the dangers of the road. “Any young person that sees these photos and is goaded into driving more cautiously or less recklessly-that’s a public service.”

Whether or not the pictures did any “public service” is debatable; what did happen was that they popped up on websites specializing in morbid stuff. A fake MySpace page was set up in Nikki’s name, where she was called a “stupid bitch.” Commenters wrote things like, “That spoiled rich girl deserved it,” and “What a waste of a Porsche.”

Nikki’s family sued the CHP for negligence, privacy invasion and infliction of emotional harm, but a judge dismissed the case. The Catsourases are appealling. Jessica Bennett notes: “But while libel and slander are regulated by law in the real world, in the cyberworld almost anything goes… Legally, anyone can post bloody images of Nikki Catsouras.” The real question is: Why do people want to? Rubber-necking at a traffic accident when you’re actually on the road is one thing, but setting up a fake MySpace for a dead girl is another. What possesses a person to email a father bloody pictures of his daughter? And do you think it should be illegal?

Ambani’s Chopper Witness’ Death Due To Multiple Fractures and Injuries

Mumbai: Preliminary post-mortem report in the mysterious death of Bharat Borge, the man who found pebbles in the fuel tank of industrialist Anil Ambani’s helicopter, has revealed he died due to multiple fractures and injuries, police said.

Government Railway Police (GRP) said they received the initial report late last night and were recording statements of railway gateman and other persons concerned.

The GRP officials said they are treating the case as an accidental death.

Borge, who was a technician with Airworks company, was found dead on the tracks between Vile Parle and Andheri suburban stations, apparently after being run over by a local train last evening.

Borge’s body has been sent to Satara, his native place in Western Maharashtra, where the funeral will take place.

Mumbai Police Joint Commissioner Rakesh Maria and Additional DGP (Railway Police) K P Raghuvanshi yesterday said Borge’s death was a case of suicide. Maria also said the motorman and the guard of a fast local saw the victim cross the track even when the train was fast approaching.

According to GRP sources, the letter recovered from Borge’s person said some people from “Reliance” came to question him. It was not clear to which of the Reliance group he was referring and whether he felt they would harm him.

Borge’s undated letter, written in Marathi and addressed to a police inspector Bhobade also said he had done nothing wrong.

Borge was among the first persons to have spotted the fuel cap of Ambani’s helicopter open on Thursday last and on inspection found pebbles and gravel inside.

Police sprung into action after a senior pilot of Reliance Transport, Captain R N Joshi, in his complaint to the police alleged that it was clearly an attempt to murder Anil Ambani.

Meanwhile, Borge’s family members have sought a CBI probe into the incident and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death, saying being an ex-army personnel he couldn’t have committed suicide.
