RED OR DEAD? BOTH IF YOU'RE THAI RATH

Thai Rath, Thailand's most popular newspaper, hit the global headlines recently when it published a graphic image of the death of actor David Carradine. For those outside Thailand it was pretty shocking, however pictures of accidents and crime scenes are a common sight on its front page.
Today is no different as you can see from what appears above the fold.

The picture on the top right shows Liverpool Football Club's arrival in Bangkok, whereas the second image shows the dead body of a man under a truck. He is reported to have committed suicide after losing his job.

At least the image of Carradine was pixelated.
