The death of 21-year-old Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvil has “cast a pall” over the Winter Olympics. He was killed during a practice run Friday.
NBC showed video of Kumaritashvil’s death three times, including in slow motion. They lingered on a shot of his dead body and even showed video of paramedics attempts to revive him.
The hometown Vancouver Sun called repeated showing of the video by media outlets “death porn.”
