Tributes have been paid in Brazil to a cameraman declared brain-dead after sustaining catastrophic head injuries during an anti-government protest.

President Dilma Rousseff has ordered an investigation into last week's incident, which she says is cause for sadness and revulsion, the BBC reports.

Santiago Andrade was hit on the head by an explosive device that police say was thrown by demonstrators.
