A very interesting blog,,,

This may come across as being morbid, but I actually found that reading the stories fascinating; case in point was the May 15, 2011 entry for Kim Hill. I think the blog owner says it best in their January 3, 2011 entry titled A Look Back "Some people view obituaries as morbid stories, but in truth only one line of an obit deals with death. The rest of the story focuses on the amazing lives people lead."

The Blog of Death

A bit more about the blog:
The Blog of Death is a frequently-updated Weblog highlighting obituaries of the famous, infamous and interesting unknowns.

The Blog of Death is written by Jade Walker, a New Hampshire-based writer/editor with a passion for obituaries. As the overnight editor/producer of The New York Times on the Web, she published the Obits section and spent a year working on the Portraits of Grief, a collection of obits for the victims of the Sept. 11th terror attacks. When she was the editor of Inscriptions Magazine, Walker compiled the hugely popular R.I.P. section of writer obits. Now she spends her days commemorating the dead on her popular Weblog and her nights working the graveyard shift as an online editor/producer for Yahoo! News.
