The video in the second link was disturbing to watch. Maybe add a content warning?
Edit: Because the preview shows a dead body right when you open the article.

I can see how this could be disturbing. But given that there's a quite thorough description above the video, I'm curious; what did you expect the video to contain? To me this seems like common sense so I'm surprised that you had such a different experience.

There is a preview/thumbnail of the video showing the dead body visible right when you open the link. I decided to watch anyway, but for someone more sensetive just the preview could be too much.

Is the body dead or just the brain?

If you read the wiki article and still decide to watch the video, that is on you.

Yeah, I decided to watch, but the video has a preview (or "thumbnail" idk what to call it) that shows a dead body of a 19 yo on the first page when you open the article. Imagine someone who is sensetive to that kind of stuff opening the link not knowing what it is about.

If you don't know what is that about there's little in that preview that would make you think that the boy is actually dead without reading the first paragraph.

Other than all of the medical equipment hooked up to his body. At the very least it's a young person who appears to be dead or dying. It can be a triggering picture, hence the request for a heads up to potential viewers.

OP didn't have to do it, out of respect they did tag it. Just because you don't find the image disturbing doesn't mean other won't .
