Los Angeles County Sheriff, Alex Villanueva said eight deputies have admitted to taking unauthorized pictures of the helicopter crash which killed Kobe Bryant. He believed these were the only individuals with the photos and that they have all since been deleted.
Reports came out last week that first responders took gruesome photos of the tragic accident which took the lives of Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter, and seven others. Villanueva told NBC News that his office became aware that deputies may have taken photos the week of the January 26 crash.
The sheriff told the outlet that all eight of the deputies came into the station on their own volition and told authorities the pictures were deleted.
“That was my No. 1 priority, was to make sure those photos no longer exist. We identified the deputies involved, they came to the station on their own and had admitted they had taken them and they had deleted them. And, we’re content that those involved did that.”
