Jade's obituary

Today is the day of Jade Goody's funeral and it was brilliant to see all of the public there to give her a final farewell.
Jade has always been in the media eye, and this didn't change when she found out she had cancer on celebrity big brother.
She was later given the horrendous news that it was only 5% survival rate, of which she openly shared with the media in interviews.
Everyone had expressed then concern and heartbreak for both Jade and her family. That is all except ok! Magazine. The magazine had printed an obituary with the front cover saying:
Jade Goody 1981-2009, when she was still alive!
Do you think this shows the heartlessness of magazines, only out to take advantage of our heartache for Jade? Or do you feel they were just a little too quick off the mark, doing it before anyone else did?

Jade did more good for the people of the UK and had tried to promote early cancer screenings in girls to prevent this issue happening again.
Rest in peace Jade Goody<3
