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?

Clever haha
Fortunately no, it’s just a hypothetical for now. But I’ve been thinking about it for a while in regards to old friends that I don’t keep up with.
Google their name. If they are deceased and not famous, chances are that the top results would include their obituary.
If I Google my name it comes up with the victim of an unsolved murder in the US. Quite good for privacy, but it must discombobulate some old acquaintances.
Only if it’s an uncommon name, otherwise you get a dozen linkedin profiles.
I’m thinking this too. Like I currently have a disease with a high mortality rate, will my partner, friends, family properly spread the word if I die, or are there some people I care about who it’ll never reach, I wonder.
