WPD has all kinds of death footage on it. Typically when a child's death is posted, the child tag is there because so many users find it difficult to watch the children die and want a warning first. This is why the child tag first developed. It is morbid fascination, which I suppose one could argue is a type of perversion, but it is not sexual perversion.
If you would actually read the comments, you'd see that the users do not "get off" on the videos or anything. There might be some perverts lurking there but I have never seen them comment once, and I'm pretty sure the moderators would remove that sort of thing.
And I can't believe you started your post with pearl-clutching "How is this legal?". You want laws against these types of videos which aren't even sexual in nature? What about police training videos? Med students? Many people use videos like these for different, legitimate purposes. Investigate this if you want, but it's not what you think it is.

Exactly. Common-fuckin-sense people.
