	These two extreme examples are our starting point for a next aspect to researching on digital death. Both show a new way of “memorialisation”, one without control and one going beyond the family and friend based one, potentially exposed to a larger audience, due to digital technology and especially our digital image and image sharing society. They are in contrast to planning a possible afterlife by ourselves.		These two extreme examples are our starting point for a next aspect to researching on digital death.

	California law expressly provides, with limited exceptions and "notwithstanding any other provision of law," that no copy, reproduction, or facsimile of any kind shall be made of any photograph . . . of the body, or any portion of the body, of a deceased person, taken by or for the coroner at the scene of death or in the course of a post mortem examination or autopsy made by or caused to be made by the coroner. As the facts revealed in the photographs were also private because, survivors have a privacy interest in the body — and in facts about the body — that they must inter. Crucially, the photographs disseminated by the officers revealed intimate, gruesome facts about Catsouras’s lifeless body that were not public knowledge.

	In Western culture, photographs of people during their lifetime have always played a significant role in the period of bereavement following their death. Before the invention and especially spreading of photography in the mid 1800’s, memorabilia of the deceased took the shape of paintings, drawings, and sculpture, which depicted the subject as living: to preserve the deceased and keep her or him in memory in the case of death. The Pre-Mortem photograph differs in the anticipation of oncoming death from a normal portrait, to ‘secure the shadow, ere the substance fades’, or, as photographer Ann Cook put it in an newspaper advertisement to attract customers in Hull in 1847’, offers portraits of father, mother, sister and brother ‘which you can look upon with pleasure, when the grave covers the original’.

	The family sued the California Highway Patrol and two responsible officers responsible for leaking the photographs. One of them quit, the other got suspended for 25 days without payment. But the Judge ruled that the two were not under any responsibility for protecting the privacy of the Catsouras family, effectively ending the basis for the case. In 2008 he ruled that while the dispatchers' conduct was "utterly reprehensible," there was no law that allowed it to be punishable. The family tried with professional help to get the images deleted from the internet, but they kept on spreading. It took unit 2012 until the family and the California Highway Patrol came to an agreement on paying the family 2,37 million in damage. The case heralds a new era of image rights of the dead concerning privacy.		The family sued the California Highway Patrol and two responsible officers responsible for leaking the photographs.
