BBC gets criticized for Tony Blaire's obituary

However, according to the newspaper The Sun, the BBC addressed to the former colleagues of 58-year-old Blaire in the government asking for interviews-memories in case the politician suddenly dies. This request provoked a scandal.

On the other hand, the practice of preparation of obituaries and other materials in case of sudden death of famous people is widely used in all the biggest media of the world. Previously, the details of the planned BBC's broadcasting in case of Queen Elisabeth's II death leaked to the press.
