Brazilian users of Google Street View see bodies
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Less than a week after its debut in Brazil, Google Street View has provided viewers with something they probably would rather not have seen: close-up images of dead bodies.
One of the images posted last week on the website of television station Globo G1 shows a body covered up and surrounded by blood spots on a busy avenue in Rio de Janeiro.
Other local news media and blogs have reported that bodies also showed up in street images of other cities in Latin America's biggest nation.
