I know this has been around a while, I remember discovering it a while ago. If ever you needed reminding what it is that charities around the world are working towards, is to never let this happen again.

The photographers name was Kevin Carter. A South African photographer having won a Pulitzer Prize for this photograph. The emotional turmoil which ensued led him to take his own life. He was 33. Police discovered him in his pick-up truck, parked in a Johannesburg suburb. An inquest showed that he had died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Photographers were always told to never help for fear of disease. Something which he clearly regretted and could no longer live with.
