We the fans and followers of Dale Earnhardt and Nascar along with subscribers to the Orlando Sentinel request that you rescind your request to view the autopsy photographs of Dale Earnhardt.

We do not feel that the public will learn anything new about this incident and that it will only cause more hurt and pain for his fans and most of all his family and friends.

While you may have a legal right to view these photos and report on them, we ask that you take the moral high ground and allow his family to grieve in peace by allowing them their privacy in this most difficult time.

    • Having worked in medicine and performed autopsies, I can NOT support release of crime-scene or medical photographs, regardless of the notoriety of a case. This is yellow journalism of the worst sort.
