Warning Strong Images Contained in This Post

Google Street View has captured some interesting images in the past (horse boy for example), but Street View users noticed something more grizzly when looking at images of Belo Horizonte in Minas, Brazil.

The image has now been taken down, but Gizmodo and other users captured it and one view shows a body covered in a black plastic bag surrounded by military police.

In another Street View image taken in Praça Noronha Santos, in Rio de Janeiro, the viewer can see the bloody body of a man covered in a black sheet. It is thought he was run over by a car.

When Google learns about these images they do take them down, but not before many have already seen them.
