Is it just me or is "Died Suddenly" being replaced with "battle with a short illness"?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
Last 3 obits I've seen have had variations of "short illness" or "sudden illness" as they try to de-amplify "died suddenly."
Anyone else seeing this?
One of those yer referring to is Raquel Welch, and she was 82...I would exclude that one from yer analysis...
It’s not the age, but the lack of explanation. They used to be legally required to assert a cause of death. All of this “briefly” and “suddenly” and “unexpectedly” and “untimely” SOUND very official to people, but they are NOT causes.
It is quite vague, agreed...
