What was the cod?
- fastball 7y agoI feel like when one is omitted (and the deceased was relatively young) it's usually suicide.
- SubiculumCode 7y agoOr it could be cancer. Sometimes families are private.
- avip 7y agoIt's more a fact than a feeling though.
- freepor 7y agoLots of reasons that it could be omitted. Drug overdose, drunk driving, private family.
- LeoTinnitus 7y agoLots of obituaries don't say. Although being so young, I'd argue in favor of what you said.
- raverbashing 7y agoI think university obituaries usually keep it more to the eulogy side of things rather than the informative/COD side.
- now 7y agoDefinitely suicide.
- annoyingnoob 7y agoThat was my first thought too. After thinking for a bit I decided that this sad news is meant to be about James, not about the cause of death. Leaving out the cause of death keeps our focus in the right place and I can respect that.
- parineum 7y agoLeaving out the cause of death keeps you curious. It's clickbait not compassion.
- sdoering 7y agoso satisfying purely egoistical curiosity of strangers is compassion? and making it about the person is clickbait? wow Orwell would be pretty proud.
- Markoff 7y agoif it was health related sharing such information can potentially save lives by prevention i don't care about details if it was accident or suicide, they could at least say if it was sudden death (unlikely caused by health at such age) or long disease
- wirrbel 7y agoIf its relevant to the people he interacted with, it will surely be shared with them. No need to put it into an obituary.
- smt88 7y agoMany times the death is announced before an official cause of death has been published. The journalist can ask the family, but they may not receive a response in time for publication (or the family might decline to offer a cause of death).

- chrisseaton 7y agoIf they don’t volunteer the information it’s extraordinarily rude to ask.
- jedberg 7y agoNormally I agree, but during a time of global pandemic, it would make sense to at least acknowledge if it was or was not the pandemic that caused it.
- chrisseaton 7y agoWhy what are you going to do with that information?
- jedberg 7y agoToday? Nothing. But when someone looks at this 10 years in the future, they will be left guessing and assume it was the pandemic that was the cause as opposed to something else.
- wirrbel 7y agoActually, in the pandemic it becomes a lot more irrelevant. It's not like the cause of a single death is very relevant when people die left and right.
- fastball 7y agoIf the death of an individual matters (it does), it seems only reasonable that the cause does too.
- _prototype_ 7y agodude he was 40 years old, extremely young. Seems perfectly reasonable to ask why a young person has died out of no where.
