Why is this okay? You wouldn’t post an R.I.P. status update if someone you knew personally passed away, would you? The family of an acquaintance of mine recently went through a difficult time. They chose, wisely, to keep their suffering private, relying on a few close relations to help them get through this rough patch. The privacy rules for celebrities are already wildly different than for "normal" people. Whether celebrities are entitled to more privacy than they receive is a different argument, but why would a celebrity's death be a special case? If they live in the public eye, it comes as no surprise that they also die in the public eye.
