'Argentine man takes selfie with dead Korean hiker'

An Argentine rescue worker is reportedly catching flak after posting a photo of himself with the corpse of a Korean hiker, who died last month after an apparent fall.

The photo shows the rescue worker, wearing sunglasses, at the bottom of a ravine; and to his right is the body of the hiker, half submerged in a stream.

The team discovered the hiker, surnamed Kim, on Nov. 28, in a forest some 35 kilometers from Ushuaia, the capital of Tierra del Fuego Province. This was three days after reports that the man had gone missing.

Local police presume Kim died when he fell from a ledge, the Chosun Ilbo reported.

According to the report, the Korean embassy requested that news outlets obscure the image of the dead man.
