Not sure if it's already been said here, but I think a death certificate is public knowledge.

Maybe it's different from state to state. In Georgia a death certificate is considered a confidential record and can only be requested by members of the deceased's immediate family.

That's great that it's confidential in your system @50Mickey as I think it should be everywhere I'm not even sure about my state

i saw this thread a few days ago and didn't think much of it until today.  On CNN today, they reported a financial chief of a Daimler Truck company died on Saturday in a "tragic incident"    That is the only explanation of his death.  Not a "accident" but an incident.  The gentleman was 52 and leaves a wife and 2 children.

Even if we are curious, it is no one's business what the cause of death is unless the family chooses to share that info. I respect the family's privacy. I know I would desperately want my privacy, especially if the death was unexpected.

If they want to keep it fairly low profile, I'm guessing the family, any family, uses Facebook for announcements.  No need to put an obit in the papers anymore.

@Tinkrbl44 No not all families share on facebook. . . I can't imagine depending on Facebook to notify if you are holding sevices especially.

I've always wondered what Kathleen Kirkwood died of. 

I always thought she looked so fit and healthy on tv, her death was a big shock to me.
