Certainly such a tragedy would have been on the news or in the newspaper SOMEWHERE.
I just want to mention that since this happened over a weekend, it may not appear in the obits in the newspapers until this week. I she lives in a small town, it may not make tv news and if the paper is small, it may not be on the Internet. I have had first hand experience on small towns and funerals.
I can understand your cauction though. I guess we just need to wait and keep checking sources.
