I also think it's important because there have been suspicious deaths of key people. Letting the community know what happened is good in these cases.

Again: are you really talking about specific cases?

Recently a Gentoo contributor passed away. He was only 29 years old! Way too young. But I would really like to know what happened. It's not morbid at all. It's normal. He liked vaping a lot. Could that be attributed. People deserve to know.

You're touching a touchy subject there... people are finally able to quit an addictive killer only to be sheeple once more(F second hand vape)?!. And, "mind your own dammed business" because we suck; wussies!

People don't DESERVE to know.

Someone's death where you really don't know the person is really none of your business.
