[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] Is this a regional thing? I'm midwestern, I'm 69, and cause of death was never stated in obits most of my life. Now that newspapers no longer write obits (basically just a death notice) obits are written (and paid for) by family, and it is more common to see that they had fought a battle with cancer and also (less common, but a change in the last 20 years) that they died by suicide. Or that they were called to Heaven (those obits always include baptismal information). [/quote]
