The girl was called Fabienne Cherisma. She had joined in the looting in the aftermath of the earthquake in 2010. She was profiled in the Guardian here.

Many photographers shot photos of her lifeless body, although at different stages of the day and of her final journey. The shared experience - and the sight of the now-ubiquitous press gang that arrives at natural disasters and hunts pack-like for pictures - prompted quite a lot of soul-searching in the photojournalist community.
The blog Prison Photography published a fascinating set of interviews with many of the photographers who took those photos. You can read the series here - there are 15 installments, all linked at the bottom of this post.
