Jose, the victim's father, knew the existence of this photo around the beginning of last week, he told Google immediately to delete the image after seeing the picture. Looking at this picture, Jose says that memories of Kevin will overwhelm as if I remembered the incident like yesterday.

According to Rob Enderle, a technology engineering analyst, if Jose's family wants Google to delete this picture, he says it will be forced a fairly hard fight. However, Mr. Jose said that he did not intend to accept the answer "NO" from Google, and he seems to have plans to raise an appeal and ask legislators for help. According to Jose's word, "It is now his mission to" catch the culprit who murdered his son and delete the photo of the son's body ".

Furthermore, at the stage of writing the article, the culprit who murdered Kevin is still unknown, and the picture on Google map is not deleted.
