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?
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...
