The game over screen of Hong Kong 97 has a photo of a real corpse, taken from a Japanese film called New Death File III, although I use the term ”film” loosely since it's really just a collection of people dying similar to Faces of Death. It's a man who died in the Yugoslavian wars.
There are a couple of creepy easter eggs in GTA: San Andreas like a hole with body bags and a truck parked nearby in the desert outside Las Venturas and a rusty wheelchair on a pier (which is really just a Texas Chain Saw Massacre reference). There are also references to a cult called the Epsilon Program found in the game.
