Interesting that the landlord wants to cover up the death... it's not like death isn't supposed to happen, eventually, to all of us. You would think that the new neighbors would understand that...

But he's probably right that it would make them, nervous, though... Kinda a sad comment on our culture, innit?

BTW, 5 years ago, I moved 450 miles away from my dad, different state, different record-keeping systems, etc. A couple years ago, I asked who he had as his next of kin listed in his wallet... it was still my mother (she died 10 years ago)... I reminded him to put my name, address and phone # there instead... his neighbors all know roughly where I am on the planet, but...
