Aside from being contacted by a family member or maybe some sort of contact information being left in a will, how do you discover if someone you know has died?

      Clever haha

      Fortunately no, it’s just a hypothetical for now. But I’ve been thinking about it for a while in regards to old friends that I don’t keep up with.

        I’m thinking this too. Like I currently have a disease with a high mortality rate, will my partner, friends, family properly spread the word if I die, or are there some people I care about who it’ll never reach, I wonder.

          If I Google my name it comes up with the victim of an unsolved murder in the US. Quite good for privacy, but it must discombobulate some old acquaintances.
