Frequently the police will set up areas near a major incident for press to report from, but not close enough to see bodies in a wrecked car, etc.
I can understand having rules about reporting on dead bodies, especially before next of kin have been notified. But I think the press always having visual access to crime scenes is an important check on police abuse.
