Obituaries...?

Question

If someone dies in a car accident at the age of 17, will it be in the obituaries?

My friend who I knew through online supposibly died in a car accident and some people don't know if it's real.

Answer 1

Obituaries are informational listing of those who have passed on advising of their death, those they left behind, their life's occupation and achievements and when any religious or other memorial service will be held.  Now if the obituary goes into how the person dies, well that is totally up to the family, but it usually doesn't.  God Bless.

Answer 2

Obituaries hardly ever give the actual case of death. They are usually just a way of sort of telling people about the person that died...family, friends, jobs, etc.
