After seeing that I’d be haunted forever. Extremely sad and disturbing.

Do we know if the child survived?

From wikipedia:

I'm really, really sorry. The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist. …depressed … without phone … money for rent … money for child support … money for debts … money!!! … I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain … of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners … I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky.

— Kevin Carter, [Suicide letter]

The final line is a reference to his recently deceased colleague Ken Oosterbroek.
