You could better fulfill your sick fantasies by going to Liveleak.

Cause it's nothing but meth overdoses and AIDS. This country has gone to shite.

It is up to the family if they want to say. You still see some that say "after a long battle with cancer" etc.

Because many still feel that auto-erotic asphyxiation accidents will be looked down upon by the readers of the local newspaper.

FWIW:
pneumonia = AIDS
dehydration = AIDS
liver failure = drunk

Probably the growing, disturbing nature of the deaths. If you died of a cocaine-fueled heart attack while trying to shove a Rubik's Cube up your arse, would you want people to know about it?

I hate when they say he/she died peacefully at their home. I want mine to say he died angry as a mother fricker with no peace.

I'd want mine to say "after a long battle with a grizzly bear..."

Drives me nuts. We have a family rule that we always put how someone died unless they are over 90.

Well if it was merely an attempt, there wouldn't be an obituary, right?

I'm curious to know how all those people die in alphabetical order...

And it's not a devil cat, it's fricking Batcat. I'm getting real tired of having to explain that.
