Search Results: odd fact about you

It's the first question we ask - how did it happen/what is the reason - yet so often it is not told.

And this happens not just in the news but with individuals who tell of a loved one's death (such as announcing it on Facebook.)

Is the cause of death not mentioned to protect the person who died of something that some others deem to be embarrassing? Is this the only reason?

If someone committed suicide, why can that not be mentioned? If the person is found hung alone in a room (such as Anthony Bourdain or Robin Williams), why is this not immediately reported and mentioned publicly at the announcement of their death?

Some might say, "Well an investigation needs to happen, an autopsy to confirm..." and yes, that is prudent, but in the meantime, why don't they announce what it appears to be (such as a self-inflicted hanging) when they announce the person's death? To me and many others, they should either wait to announce until the facts are confirmed, or they could provide what information they have at the time, otherwise don't announce it publicly yet.
