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??

It is no ones' business to learn a chase of death. Morbid to be so inquisitive.

It's a matter of privacy & personal preference. A death announcement should be about their lives, accomplishments etc & not satisfying a person's curiosity. I don't want my COD in my obit.

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.

I watched her for years. She shared her weight loss surgery, her pregnancy ...a great deal of her life. I cried when she passed. That is why I was quite surprised to see the Go Fund Me.😳

We might be curious but the deceased and their families are entitled to their privacy.

I think when one hears of a death or even a divorce you know what I mean that is just natural to wonder about the circumstances. Of course they are entitled to their privacy but also why leave it out if it’s for example a stroke. I just think it would make people more empathetic. And no it’s not coming from a place of “entitledment”.

For my brother's in Feb. '21 I only put passed at his home and the date. The family and our friends all knew the cause. What shocked me on another death of a friend of mine, she did take her life sitting in her car in the parking lot of our offices after loosing her job. In the obit no mention of the cause of death was listed. At the bottom of the funeral home's memorial for her you could leave your condolences, someone actually wrote she wished she could have been there with her because she knows she could have "stopped her from doing what she did and making that choice." That comment just says it all for most people in knowing the cause of death. I just thought it was tasteless. Maybe if someone had been with her they could have stopped the outcome but do not write in her memorial section.
