Photographs of his self-immolation were circulated widely across the world and brought attention to the policies of the Diệm government. As President Kennedy said in reference to a photograph of Duc on fire, âNo news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one."[SUP][2][/SUP] Malcolm Browne won a Pulitzer Prize for his renowned photograph of the monk's death. After his death, his body was re-cremated, but his heart remained intact.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4] please log in to view this image [/SUP]
