I think a William Gibson-ish take-away from that report is that there is an inverse relationship between how someone's death is covered and how difficult it is to find data about that person. Famous TV star from the 70s who hasn't done anything notable in 40 years dies of a heart attack? Easy mass of data and media available leads to a proliferation of heart-felt articles about that one time they were guest stars on Gilligan's Island. Kenyan political activist is tortured to death by Al-Shabaab? Aggregated into a statistic somewhere.
