The suit alleges that Cruz shared photos of Kobe Bryant's body with a bartender and the others passed around ”gratuitous photos of the dead children, parents, and coaches." The Los Angeles Times later reported that a departmental internal investigation found deputies shared photos of victims’ remains. Vanessa Bryant sued the county and the Sheriff's Department, seeking damages for negligence and invasion of privacy. The suit alleges that at least eight deputies snapped cellphone photos. The lawsuit says that the Sheriff's Department hasn't released results of its internal investigation but Vanessa Bryant obtained the final report through the courts in January.
