People want to see only out of curiosity. It is human nature. It was a good decision on the part of family members of Steve Irwin not to hand over the video to media. It was a crime to make video of a man on death row being taunted.

I would suggest that the reason is because in our country death is hidden, not shown, avoided etc. Certainly you can recall numerous news broadcasts on television in which accidents, drownings, murders etc are being described and shown, however, the dead persons body is always covered and not shown in the broadcast. In western culture we tend to put death out of our minds - we don't want to think about it or even acknowledge it first hand and if at all its someone telling us about it and covering it up. So when there is a video of someone actuallly dying or being dead, people naturally want to satisfy their curiosity as to what this actually looks like. Its not really morbid, morose or a perverted wish, its just plain curiousity. If death were more openly discussed and shown more often you wouldn't have this.

In the case of Saddam people want to know for sure that he is dead and not having his execution staged and him being somewhere else in the world.
In the case of Steve Irwin I guess people are curious as to how a sting ray could have killed him or exactly what happened.

Same reason the Collesium was so popular in Rome. We still appear to love viewing human on human violence and atrocities. We a a savage bunch of ghouls.

I would say were curious. We want to see how these famous individuals acted in the last moments of their lives. We want to see how these people who seemed so powerful were killed. Simple as that.

Human curiosity, they want to believe for themselves that it really happened and if they see, they will believe, does that make any sense?
