I think morbo has those connotations too: people being drawn to situations related to death, murder, tragedy ...

People being drawn to other's personal tragedies or scandals. Media hype

You can say that again. But if it sells it's because lots of people like it. Remember the controversy about some of the photos published after the Haiti earthquake? Where do you draw the line between what is information and what is mere exploitation of human tragedy?
