The person took a selfie with the dead person by bending his nose-tongue-mouth. Then after it was posted, there was a storm of criticism on social media.
A teenager from Madinah, Saudi Arabia committed this act of depraved mentality.

One of the officers of the department said, "Who gave the opportunity to the young man to enter the hospital and hand over the selfie - they are also being searched."
Abdur Razak Hafed, Head of Madina's Public Relations and Media Department said, 'This incident is under investigation. What that teenager has done is not only reprehensible but also heinous.'
