[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Suicide or OD 90% of the time. If it was a natural 'suddenly' (ie stroke or heart attack) it's usually spelled out to avoid the implications of the aforementioned causes.[/quote]

This. If it's a heart attack, the obit will say heart attack[/quote]

Not always. I know of two people who died of a heart attack and one obituary said “unexpectedly” and one said “after a sudden illness.”

You know what they say about those who ASSume. Look at you, true to form.[/quote]

May I ask why you are so hostile?

It is human curiosity to inquire how people died. When I read "died unexpectedly" I do think overdoses. Obits go out of their way to avoid mentioning overdoses whereas for other deaths they're usually upfront. Including suicides ("took his life." [/quote]

Well you really shouldn't assume that at alln is what people are saying and I don't think you have a basis for your assumption. I've know three people to die unexpectedly in the past two months (and that's what their obits say) and not one was suicide or overdose.  And if you knew them, you'd know it wasn't those things.[/quote]
