Andy Warhol's "Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car I)" was recently auctioned for $71.7 million dollars. The painting depicts a fatal car crash in Seattle.

"Green Car Crash," painted in 1963, is part of a series of Warhol works that drew on photographs of fatal accidents. Silkscreened over a green background, the painting uses a news photograph of a grisly crash in Seattle.

If a painting depicting a wrongful death in an automobile accident is worth over $70 million dollars, how much is the life of someone who actually dies in the crash worth?
