[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a recent "died unexpectedly" who died of a heart attack.

This was 7/8/23 in the DMV in case we're thinking of the same person.  It sounds like the obit should have been more specific.  [/quote]

No, it shouldn’t have. It is up to the family—and in some cases, the deceased who has made his or her wishes known beforehand—how much information to share, and in what way.

If you are close family or friends, if you are “inner circle,” you will know how someone died. If you are not, you may know months or years later, when someone in the inner circle chooses to share more. If not, you will have to content yourself with what is actually relevant to you: someone you know died, and you are welcome to read the obituary and reflect upon their life. If the funeral, visitation or other celebration of life are open to the public or you are invited, you are welcome to attend and pay your respects.

You are not entitled to a cause of death. Ever. Just like you aren’t entitled to know about people’s physical or mental health conditions while they are living.

Some people are private. Some families are private. People Are Different From You. [/quote]
