MySpace is a popular social portal for tracking what people do in life. http://www.mydeathspace.com/deaths.aspx MyDeathSpace is a website that tracks - in a blog-like format - spectacular, tragic, and ironic deaths. Another site, Dead Journal is a gothically decorated social blogging site - sort of in the same vein as MySpace. http://www.deadjournal.com/ It is, however, a little more morbid. If you are going on vacation and you want to visit the grave of someone who lived - or died - nearby, FindAGrave.com can help. http://www.findagrave.com/ The site has a search engine to find the graves of famous dead people, has a compendium of deaths by year, and various other features. Every month eating disorders claim many lives. Human beings, with just a little luck and a safe/well-provisioned environment, can live for the better part of a century, easily. For some reason bound to psychology and social pressures, a fair number of people become ill and die due to a lack of food. These people literally starve. Not due to the food not being available but simply because they choose not to eat it. Not enough for them to survive, anyway. It is a perplexing death that is difficult for the same society that its victims try to please in some way. Voices - Not Bodies: In Memory pays homage to these unfortunate souls. http://www.voicesnotbodies.org/memorial.htm The image of a ribbon is given in death to those who were given too little of something in life. Some of the ribbons show an image of the victim when hovered over with a mouse. Death is all around us, but fortunately, we rarely see it. On the web, death sits down on the park bench and waits for us to visit.
