Yeah, I don't get that either. We have HIPAA for medical records for privacy when a doc is trying to save your life. But, we have very few laws around consumer privacy and are intentionally treated like a product. So, if we want to live let's make it hard... but it's cool to exploit you for money. About the worst thing I can think of from embarrassment, etc. is saying homedude died of a compound effect of 34 STIs, but is that really embarrassing? He'd be a hero IMO. :laugh:

Perhaps such a level of dedication to his "hobby" is admirable, but being stupid enough to catch 34 STIs certainly is not.

Even if he died of AIDS or syphilis or even something embarrassing, it has beneficial impact to the world to know what he died from. I am all about privacy, of course, but knowing the exact cause of death should not be private; it should be public knowledge, IMHO.
Well, the hospital should track that data and have it anonymized. I say this knowing nothing about the process. But, it's the Internet so I must pretend I'm an expert.

62 is way too young for anyone to die. WTF does this actually mean?

People in their quest for privacy... Just state in plain English what the actual F he died from. :rose:
Usually some quick cancer (pancreatic for example) that was diagnosed really late.

Isn't that true for every death, not just for celebrities? I am quite sure that you will benefit from knowing the reason for me ceasing resource consumption, the day it happens (or shortly thereafter). We really should start a movement to create an international archive covering the entire human population of all history, where anyone will have access to the reason of death for any currently and in the future deceased human being. Maybe it could/should be extended to pets as well.

What a private citizen died of is NOYB really, unless he/she wanted the public to know.

I hate this kind of news too. If I die from colon cancer, or pancreatic cancer, so be it, let people know. Why should it be kept secret? Being open is good so other people can be more wary, which diseases kill people the most, and have that part of their body checked. I hate it when I read 'rapidly spreading serious medical condition' bla bla bla..
