He didn't die of guilty conscience you self-righteous P.O.S.

He died of depression after been scarred for life by his harrowing experience in Sudan.

The unfair criticisms just hastened his demise.

He fended the vultures. He was prevented by Sudanese military that accompanied him to interfere or help anyone. He was helpless and he felt gutted. He came back to the free world to share a photo he felt would raise uproar and cause people to act. Rather the free world mocked him while others gave him an award rather than do something drastic about the situation in Sudan.

He lost faith in this world. He lost faith in people like you. He felt he didn't have to be part of a world where people would be so unperturbed about the death and misfortune of others. He has gone to a better place now. A better place that you clearly do not deserve to be in.

The guys plane was ambushed by gun men loyal to Rev Jim Jones and they executed him and some members that chose to leave Jones town with him.

You are a disgrace to mankind.

Did you even bother to read the account intently?

The photographer fended off the vulture and couldn't help the child because he was held back by the Sudanese military men monitoring his movements.

He said the child eventually got to the feeding center. But that he was unsure that the child would survive for long.

Maybe you need to use the bio organ in your skull, rather than respond like a zombie.

Have you ever imagined what would have happened if he removed his cloth, wrapped the girl and carry her to the refuge center?

That is what real help entails. It is just like seeing a child walking to fire, instead of removing the child entirely from the place, you only shifted the fire and walk away.

My summary is that, his singular act of not rendering help when it is needed most, might has haunted him leading to the suicide.

Maybe if you weren't so judgmental, you'll read that account and not be so misinformed.

He was under strict supervision by the Sudanese military that warned him not to intervene.

He did the most anyone in his position could do. He scared off the vulture and ensured the child got to the feeding center. So what are you on about?

A "likely hidden agenda of obtaining fame"?

Likely is the key word. You'd have to be a complete sadist Bleep*d up person to reason that way.

Or do you think he just took his bags, bounced into Sudan and started taking pictures?

It was a conflict. He was protected by government soldiers and one of their many don't rules was that he did not intervene.

Get the facts and stop your unfair criticism.

To your analogy. Carter did not step aside for the fire. He put out the fire and got that child to safety. Afterwards, he said because of his limitations he couldn't help any further by probably taking the child with him out of Sudan and that considering the conditions of the child's surroundings, she wouldn't survive.

Read intently.

As for why he died. It's clearly written there, read his suicide note!

Maybe you will just shut up when you know that there were trigger Happy soldiers watching Carter while he took that picture.
The instruction from Sudan was that the Cater and his likes don't help the South Sudanese people.
If they do, they get killed.

Carter has a kid. That kid didn't get to know his father for long because of the unfair criticisms that led to Carter's death.

Your criticism is like the thousands others that caused his death and seek to validate his suicide as fair game.

Starving Sudanese child is stalked, and eyed hungrily, by a starving vulture.

This contrast of a plump vulture and a starving, emaciated Sudanese girl is striking, alarming and won the photographer, Kevin Carter, a Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.

The girl was on her way to a feeding center, when she collapsed.

When asked about the fate of the girl, Kevin Carter said that she resumed her trek to the center, while he chased away the vulture.

However, he added, that it is unlikely she survived.

He later committed suicide

[s]What's the nexus between my comment and your response here. Do you have a problem with grammar or something else? Have you read the whole story before to arrive at your assertion? You should have just dropped your comment in a polite manner without hurting the feelings of others. That's a very bad attitude.

.[/s]

Feelings of others?

Did they care about the feelings of Carter or his kids when they typed their scathing retorts? If they had taken the time to read the whole story, they wouldn't have made those replies.

People who show no empathy for people do not deserve empathy from others.

And if you read my reply and didn't get my point, you don't deserve a rejoinder.

You can keep believing that Carter used that kid to become famous despite fending off the vulture and being under strict orders not to intervene.

It maybe uncalled for, but you should understand that the insult is fitting.

What does it take to be thoroughly informed before jumping to conclusions and condemning Carter.

Hasty generalizations and condemnations made Carter commit suicide and rendered his kids fatherless. Learn to exercise caution with the words you use. You never can tell what the effects might be.

so sad and depressing, what happens on this planet.

see how nigerians are so sympathetic to the pains of other people

even more sad that these same nigerians will show no sympathy if these horrors happened to fellow nigerians from "the other ethnic group" or the "other religion" or "the other political party" . . .

dude,if he felt really bad about the cruelty of the world on sudan,why did he sell the pic to new york newspaper?why did he spend 20 minutes trying to get the best shot?why did he take the photo?was the stopping force more than the willing force that he wud av used to save the girl's life?

He felt guilty after american readers were eager to know what happened afterwards.....taking the pix and selling it tells more about his intention.

Photographers sell their pics. That's how they earn their money.

He made several photos that's they one NY times chose to buy.

That story about 20 minutes is unverified by his "supposed" partner photographer whose multiple starving photos "miraculously" didn't get published. Not even one.

Why would he not take the photo? Do you know that people on this planet deny that the Holocaust happened. There are people that deny that the Rwanda genocide happened.

That photo was meant to spark outrage. That's what normal people do. The photo of a burning man started the Arab rising that led to the toppling of suppressive regimes in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East.

You may as well ask why do newspapers write articles about conflicts or starving kids. You are unbelievable.

Americans decided to know what happened to the kid afterwards. That's what humane people do. He answered that question to the best of his ability, but under the circumstances he couldn't be of any more help to the girl.

Since you like condemning, you should realize that the second account you want to take as true that says he took 20 minutes to snap the photo said they were part of a UN mission and that the parents of the kid were close-by. And the parents were jostling for scarce aid materials and certainly would have taken returned to take care of the kid.

The supposed partner also confirmed that Carter fended off the vulture afterwards. But that picture actually sparked a discussion and response that wouldn't have happened.

Let me quote the supposed partner "It is certain that this photography is of great impact and leaves no one indifferent, but it made many people raise stupid questions. If you cut away a piece of reality and you isolate it, you’re able to either be expressing reality or not expressing reality. And in this case, that which is expressed in the photo is a pretty good reflection of that which happened and is currently happening, there in Sudan. Photography has an enormous power over the viewers, and it has to be like that in order to reflect the horrible reality"

You my good friend are one of the "many people [who] raise stupid questions" he was referring to.

I'm done with you.

The image above was caputed by a photographerfor the Buffalo Courier, who was on his way back to the office after being out on assignment.

The woman who commited suicide was called Mary Miller.

It is thought that she was mourning a lover who was just killed during World War II.

There's no evidence to suggest that the man actually stole from the starved boy,to me from watching the picture,it looks like the starving boy was a beggar,but the well fed man ignored him and kept walking.
