Why is PM Abe's death taken up excessively?

Former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe shot dead

The site where former PM Shinzo Abe was shot is where I walked everyday more than 10 years ago. So, it's strange for me to find the landscape I've accustomed to see on almost all of the headline news of major news agencies around the world.

Anyway, we should condemn the murder as a threat against democracy. But, I think it's excess reaction to assert death penalty on family of criminals , refrain from doing something to mourn him, or vote for his party to pay tribute for him. It can lead to 'birth of dictatorship'.
