A MODEL has sparked outrage by posting a pouting selfie with the corpse of her dead dad in a hospital bed behind her.

Jelica Ljubicic took the picture while her father could be seen laying behind her.

Local media in Serbia reported the man had died shortly before the image was taken.

With his head slumped to one side Jelica was branded "sick" for posting the picture.

She wrote: "Dad...rest in peace. We have fought as much as we can, but it is not our will.

"We don't decide how long we will live. He left us in the 67th year of life.

"Thank you for everything, I am grateful for being your daughter and having you as my father.

She added: "Thank you for bringing us to the right path. Rest in peace, you will always stay in our hearts."

Jelica - who describes herself as a singer and a model - was forced to remove the image after a backlash online.

One wrote: "Only a sick person can do this."

While someone else said: "I can’t believe what am I reading and seeing. No, there is no hope for this world."

Another added: "This is how much she cares for her father she has the time and strength to take photos."
