frick efficiency
I'm actually having difficulty finding anywhere that used the term "passed" in this case
Most are saying died with this quote in the article:
quote:
"It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning," Simon Halls, a spokesperson for Fisher's family, said in a statement to People.

Ah, so you're asking why Whoopie Goldberg used passed instead of passed away on twitter which has a character limit. Wouldn't call that a headline.
Also, you linked me to a Cameron LNG video
. They actually used to be a client of mine

Whether it's headlines or body text, my point still stands - something that the un-picayunish would overlook. But hey - who doesn't like a good debate. The color of her shoes, perhaps?
Sorry about the link faux-pas.

Sometimes, those who've passed away have passed gas...
