A sad-but-true analysis of how we examine "celebrity" deaths by Tanya Gold -- via Tanya Gold in the Guardian. As usual, I hope that Obit Patrol stands as a corrective to the vulturous attitude of contemporary media towards death, in that I ignore the tragic, intrusive, and exploitative aspects around someone's end of life . . . and focus on what that person did to make the world a better, or at least more happy, place.
