Aside from being contacted by a family member or maybe some sort of contact information being left in a will, how do you discover if someone you know has died?

    Search their name and where they’re from/living, I guess? Add “obituary” to get specifically death notices.

    I don’t know if it works or how well, yet… but I’m sure I’ll find out sooner than I’d like.

      This is how I found out a couple of my old acquaintances had passed. I searched them up and found their death notices.

      On the other hand, I have a friend with whom I made a pact to notify our respective families if we start to go down because we care but are not in regular contact.
