Half-Life 2 has a real burned body

The person with the burned face is one of those present in this book, but of course they received some modifications. Before the game hit stores, the developer remade the character many times, even creating a scarier version than the final one. But the only difference between the face of the burned person in the forensic book and the Half-Life character is an eye. Valve removed one of the eyes that appeared in the book so it wouldn't be so realistic and scary. Otherwise, all players have been looking at a real dead person for years without knowing it. YouTuber Richter Overtime explained the story in detail and claimed that other models discarded by the developer may also have been made with inspiration from real people. You can check out his video below (in English). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euXZL-Dm98s&ab_channel=RichterOvertime Richter also says that the person in the original photo may have been someone executed by the mob. Valve, for its part, has made no comment on the situation or whether it will make changes to Half-Life 2 after the discovery. But the game's Steam community has already created some mods that help remove the burned body model from the game, to reassure some players.
