A St. Louis mother is demanding answers after News 4 showed her a photo that appears to depict the scene of her son’s death.
On August 8, 2016, Kim Staton’s son, 28-year-old Omar Rahman, was found dead in a home in Pine Lawn. The North County Police Cooperative responded. The Medical Examiner has since ruled it an accidental drug overdose. But Staton says ever since her son’s death, she’s heard little from police.

“I really don’t know, actually, what happened to my son,” she said.
Now she says she’s hurt even more. Weeks after Rahman’s death, a photo, appearing to depict the scene of her son’s death, was leaked out.
The officer is wearing gloves, holding onto the arm of the body and giving a thumbs up.
Questions are now swirling on how the photo got out. Police have reported a missing crime scene camera along with the photos.
The chief has declined to view the photo.
A lawsuit is likely pending and there are many answers yet to be given.
