Death Announcements - Page 2

I feel it's just a privacy thing. While sadly it may be suicide or overdose many times but we've all been in that situation and when my family members pass I think their privacy should be respected. Family are the only people who really need to know this information.

Is it me that I wish they would list the cause of death? I know that families are entitled to their privacy but on the other hand it leaves us wondering. Just recently I saw a meteorologist on Friday and she checked in the hospital on Sunday and died. The news channel has been having quite a memorial for her for over a week with no cause of death mentioned. Yes I know I’m very curious. Also I’ve been stymied by the mention of he/she died “unexpectedly”. I don’t mean to be macabre or insensitive but I feel like I’m left hanging. Anyone else feel this way??

What is bizarre is that there is now a Go Fund Me for the meteorologist's daughter.😳

Good grief isn't the family entitled to privacy?!!! I happen to know a woman years ago whose DH dropped dead of a heart attack at the young age of 43.

She did NOT want that in his obituary and her kids respected that.

Not everything needs to be made public. His obit said he "died unexpectedly" and it WAS NOT suicide or drugs. Good grief.

No, It's none of my business...I respect others privacy.

I just assumed that the meteorologist under discussion passed away from some sort of cardiac arrest or underlying heart issues. I never even considered suicide and/or drugs.

And I don't believe that the cause needs to be disclosed unless the family desires.

About a month before there was a segment where she went on air to have tests to have her heart checked with another host. All was well.

I believe it should be left to the family's discretion.

Someone I knew who was very close to me in my life passed away. We had a falling out before that and no one in that family every told me what happened. I suspect it was suicide. To this day my friend's cause of death haunts me.

People today think they are entitled to any and all information about public people.

They aren't.

Being from NY and now NJ I know who you are writing about. We also have our Lt Governor who died this past weekend after a trip to the hospital and reported as"unexpected" also. I understand the need for the family to have this privacy but when you are in politics or entertainment or a public person, there is an interest in knowing what happened. These two women, in my mind, were respected in their fields and appear to have had a wonderful life and I feel very sorry for their families.

I think “haunted” is the word I was looking for. Sometimes just knowing is some kind of closure. Of course the family is entitled to their privacy. However it kind of lets us hanging. Especially when it’s a public figure.
