No deaths reported...Where are the bodies buried?

I can't speak for every state but this is not true across the board. My Mom died last year and 10 days later her social security checks stopped and the hospital and state agencies had her recorded dead on everything. I didn't notify anyone and was kind of hoping one last check would hit the account to help with funeral expenses. I don't really consider it fraud to receive your monthly check the same month you died as you were alive for part of that month. But it didn't happen, SS knew right away.

Obviously if someone dies at home and a family member buries them in the backyard there is no way to track that.

If you listen to the podcast you'll notice that the "mystery" is that NO Somali ever dies of natural causes or at an old age. Meaning they die at home and are never reported.
