Death & Looks

Why is it that when we hear of a death of someone we dont know we feel pity for the person's youth and fate for a few seconds and then we carry on with the task on hand.

However, if we have seen the person only once, even if only on TV, i.e. we have no direct contact with, we feel a pain in our chest and sympathise with the family in addition to feeling sorry for the loss of that person?

Is it because we can link the fate to a specific individual and not to a ghost?

Is it because the death becomes more personal?

Is it because we believe the incident more when we know how the person looks like?

I dont really know.
