This is mostly a myth propagated by the idea of “posing stands” which were actually meant to keep living people still for portraits that took a long exposure time. Victorians loved some goth shit like hair jewelry tho.

yeah I’m gonna need some sources for that claim. I’ve seen plenty of evidence that death photography was a real thing including speaking to actual family members that own said photographs with stories handed down about the incident.
not just that but you can clearly see the person in the middle crystal clear. this means their eyes didn’t move. they never blinked, and their body never moved.
