I need a ruling on a spoiler scenario. If I am wrong then I will yield and admit defeat.

Scenario: Poster asks for opinions on show. Someone posts that they quit watching after character dies. The character is killed off due to the actor dying in real life. Everyone that was not living in a cave last year would know about this death. The post is abundantly clear that this is the case.

Nothing in the post indicates manner of death or any details about the episode.

Is this a clear violation of the spoiler rules, or an obvious statement of a well known fact?

ETA: Assume that this show is about a guy that drinks single malt scotch, has sex with OT 10s, and has never watched an episode of Glee.

Depends on the actor I would think. For example I has no idea the guy on Silicon Valley died before it was revealed in the show thread. Obviously many new Ledger died before TDK.

I'm gonna pretend this is about Spartacus instead of Glee. Yeah, that's better.

i'll actually give a serious answer

i would say it's a violation, because there is a chance the possible spoilee doesn't watch the news and keep up with who or who didn't die.

I don't watch glee and I sure AF didn't know someone on the show died IRL.

Just my opinion.

I'd say it's a spoiler since the character wasn't recast and was killed off on the show. At the very least respect that the OP put in the title spoilers only through the 1st half of season 1.
