[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe anyone is excusing this cousin's obvious and egregious error. Particularly when the uncle/father died unexpectedly.

Unless the death is also on the nightly news, the immediately family should be the first to announce it in a public space. And Facebook IS a public space.[/quote]

eh, we just now learned that this death was unexpected. The only "excuse" that I can see is if this cousin had a very close relationship with her uncle and his wife, and his wife asked for her to get the word out to everyone about his passing - so the cousin got the word out to everyone using Facebook.

It does seem pretty insensitive to his daughter living overseas but sometimes people don't think straight when they are hurting.  And it's possible that the cousin thought "Well if I know, surely the family already knows about this" and didn't think twice about posting a message about it...hoping for some support for her aunt.

Wrong. The cousin wanted the attention she knew she would get by being the first to post the death.

Typical Facebook narcissism. Plain and simple.[/quote]
