LONDON — The British police said on Sunday that they were investigating the online publication of what is believed to be a photograph of the body of Emiliano Sala, the Argentine soccer striker who died in a plane crash in the English Channel in January.

“We are aware that a picture reported to be of Mr. Sala’s body has been shared on social media channels and are disgusted that somebody did this,” a spokesman for the Dorset Police in Bournemouth, an English coastal town where Mr. Sala’s body was being held, said on Sunday.
