Death Records Now

Normally, when you set an all-time record daily rainfall for any given city, massive flooding occures. Offically, about 8 inches of rain fell on Aug. 14th. However, I am looking online, and there are very little news stories on the houses flooded with feet of water, or deaths, which are normally assoicated with this type of rain. If you look at the all-time record rainfall for most cities in the U.S., it does not even approch 7 inches for the day. Wash DC, Philly, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Detroit, along with many more cities have never seen 7 inches of rain in one day. In fact, Central Park has just seen 3 days in the last 141 years with rainfall over 7 inches for a day.

I live in Philly and the reason I can think of is because the rain normally moves and doesn’t stay in one spot yet in south Jersey they had 10" of rain fall because of the rain training over the same area

just think if all this rain came during the colder months we would be in a blizzard

My dad committed suicide almost 12 years ago and I wanted to know if there is a website or place where I can get information about his death. Does the US and/or state of California even record everyone’s death???

Thanks for your help =)

In the United States, deaths are recorded by death certificates.

There are many websites online where you can search legal documents for a price.

Ok I gotta start from the beginning. I’m thirteen. I was practically raised by my Grandma- she was the sweetest, nicest, most brilliant Grandma ever- even during my parents divorce- I thought shE would never die. Me and my moved from the west coast(California) to the east. Just about 2 years ago GRandma Ruth died. My dad said she left a will and said he would send me a copy but never did but he did read it to me over the phone. I canny remember well but I believe it sad that I could have her jewlery and everything else that I wanted. She gave me her
life, possesions, love. I never inquired about what happened to things entrusted to me in the will, assuming that I would be able to reclaim them once my dad told me where they were or sent them to me. A year later he died of a seizure. I never got anything that was meant for me- her jewlery and several items that always characterized her- a couple head scarves, a pair of simple studs, a pair of thick glasses. I never got a small bottle full of her ashes that were promised to me as well. Is there any permenant record of wills in california or deaths or something or someone that can help me reclaim what is rightfully mine?

im so sorry…. that sound awful. yes i know they keep records my mother works for the government…go find someone like the police and they can tell you how to track and maybe where to find the will.

Trasylol is a drug that has recently been taken off the market after it was found to have caused more than 20,000 deaths since it was brought to market in 1993. Trasylol , also known as Aprotonin, was used in thousands of surgeries during the past 10 years. The surgeries that it was most commonly used in were heart surgeries, specifically Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery. Trasylol was used my hospitals all over the country to decrease the amount of blood loss during surgery, and therefore lower the amount of blood the patient needs to receive through blood transfusions. Bayer Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Trasylol, were said to have known about this fatal drug and instead of notifying the public and the FDA hid their findings.

As a result of this deceitful act by Trasylol, thousands of people died as the drug was used in more than one third of open heart surgeries in the United States. Bayer Pharmaceuticals hid their study results from the FDA after their studies proved the severity of the effects of this drug. The most common side effects of Trasylol were serious kidney damage which often resulted in failure, congestive heart failure, renal disease, and even stroke. If you have suffered at the hands of Bayer Pharmaceutical as a result of the dangerous drug Trasylol you may be able to file a Trasylol legal case.

In order to find out if you are eligible to file a Trasylol legal case against Bayer Pharmaceuticals there are a few things that you must be able to prove. The first is that you have to be administered Trasylol during surgery anytime since it was brought to market in 1993. This will help your attorney get the exact details about your case, it is a huge help if you have doctors records about the circumstances following the surgery, because written proof from doctors can be very beneficial in making you eligible to file a Trasylol legal case. You also have to be able to prove that you or a loved one has suffered as a result of the Trasylol . This again can be obtained easily through doctor’s records and records of your surgery. Many people don’t know about the thousands of lives that have been affected by this drug, and may not even know that Trasylol could have been what caused their loved ones death. Besides death, Trasylol has been known to cause patients to go into kidney failure that is so severe that they have to remain on dialysis for the rest of their lives. Don’t sit there and allow you or a loved one to suffer, a Trasylol legal case can help you pay doctors bills that were caused at the hands of this pharmaceutical giant.

DEATH RECORDS…SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?
WE WENT TO A CEMETERY YESTERDAY, AND THERE WAS A GRAVE, THAT CAUGHT MY INTEREST, I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE, GONE TO THE CITY RECORD AND I CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING, ON THESE TWO LITTLE KIDS. iF ANYONE HAS A FREE SITE OR SOME THING THEY KNOW OF CAN YOU PLZ LET ME KNOW. HERE IS THE INFORMATION ON THE KIDS. I DO NOT KNOW THE FAMILY OR ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT WHAT IS ONE THIER GRAVE…

THE NAME: Charlotte E. Davis
Birth: 9-14-1872
Death 3-16-1873

HER SISTER
NAME: unknown
birth 9-3-77
Death: 3-16-78

BOTH BURIED AT TOQUERVILLE UTAH…

THEY WERE BOTH 6 MONTHS OLD, BOTH DIED THE SAME DAY, AND THEY WERE 5 YEARS APART IN AGE, I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE POOR LITTLE GIRLS,

i HAVE LOOKED ON FINDAGRAVE, AND IT LISTS THE YEAR BORN AND DIED, BUT THE CAUSE OF DEATH IS BLANK

Your best bet may be to find the archives of the local newspaper for Toquerville in 1873. If the paper doesn’t mention the deaths of these specific children, it may describe an epidemic that was in progress in the area at the time.

Photographs taken of Liam Johns’ crib by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office clearly show where it came apart.

The drop rail had detached from its plastic track, creating a gap through which the 9-month-old boy slipped feet-first. Instead of falling to the floor, Liam got his head stuck between the rail and the mattress. Trapped in a hanging position, the boy asphyxiated.

Liam’s April 2005 death prompted an investigation by a federal watchdog agency and a family lawsuit against the crib’s manufacturer, Simplicity Inc.

Consumers who have one of the cribs cited in the recall should contact Simplicity (888-593-9274 or simplicityforchildren.com) to obtain a repair kit with new hardware. If the crib already has the newer hardware (see attached graphic), consumers should still check the crib’s drop rail to ensure it is assembled right-side up.

But the company and the Consumer Product Safety Commission didn’t warn parents across the country about the potentially fatal flaw in Simplicity cribs–not after Liam suffocated, not after more complaints about the crib rails and not after two more infants died.

Once the Tribune began questioning the company and the agency this month, a massive recall of Simplicity cribs followed.

On Friday, the CPSC took action on 1 million cribs, including the model that the Johns family used for Liam. It is the largest recall of full-size cribs in the agency’s history.

In its Hidden Hazards series, the Tribune has documented how the understaffed and sluggish CPSC fails to protect children from dangers in toys and other products. The paper’s examination of Simplicity’s popular cribs underscores that, even in the aftermath of a child’s death, the agency can fall short in its watchdog role, leaving children vulnerable to a documented hazard.

Interviews and records show that the federal investigator assigned to Liam’s death failed to inspect the crib in his initial inquiry and didn’t track down the model or manufacturer.

"We get so many cases," the investigator, Michael Ng, said in an interview this month. "Once I do a report, I send it in and that’s it. I go to the next case. We could spend more time, but we are under the gun. We have to move on."

Only last week, after inquiries by the Tribune, did Ng return to California to find the crib. It had first been held as evidence by sheriff’s police and later was put in storage by a lawyer retained by the family.

Even with the recall, it remained unclear why it took so long to address the problem. The CPSC often gets bogged down in negotiations with companies over recalls because fedx eral law limits its powers and its ability to disclose details of its investigations into dangerous products.

Nancy Cowles, a child-product safety advocate and executive director of Kids In Danger, called for congressional hearings to look into the delay. "Was it because the CPSC has no power and the company was able to stall?" she asked.

When first presented with the Tribune findings this month, Julie Vallese, spokeswoman for the CPSC, said the agency could not comment about Simplicity. "We have more than one investigation open, and that’s why I can’t answer any questions," she said.

In announcing the recall Friday, the CPSC blamed a flawed crib design and hardware that allowed parents to install the drop rails upside down, which can cause the rail to detach from the frame. The agency said it was aware of seven non-fatal cases of infants being trapped and 55 other cases of drop-rail problems.

It also linked the Simplicity cribs to three deaths but did not release the names of those children or the dates of the fatal accidents.

One of those children was Liam Johns, records show. Another was 6-month-old Edward Millwood, who died in November 2006 in Georgia. The third was 8-month-old Royale Arceneaux, who died in February in Houston. All three children fell between the mattress and a separated drop rail.

The drop rails in those deaths had been installed upside down. But the agency also found two incidents in which correctly installed drop rails failed to work properly.

Ken Waldman, president of Simplicity Inc., said in an interview Friday that the company makes safe products and works closely with the CPSC to fix any problems. He would not say why the recall did not occur earlier.

"This is the thing to do and that’s why we decided to do it now," he said.

The Aspen 3 in 1, once Simplicity’s best-selling crib, accounted for the bulk of the recall. About 600,000 of those models, which are no longer made, were recalled.

fuck that i rather get 2!!! =]

live in Canada, and among the aspect of the United States that I find very silly, there’s the 21-year-old drinking age and the ridiculous penalties for underage drinking. This is greatly undermining the opinion I have of the US.

In Canada, the drinking age is 19 in seven provinces and 18 in three. If someone is caught underage drinking, they are either handed a small fine or arrested and detained until the effect of alcohol is over, that’s all. Underage drinkers don’t lose their driver’s license and don’t get a criminal record that would haunt them for the rest of their life. Additionally, enforcement is much less strict, and police often don’t really care about underage drinking on private property.

I think that American policy of giving a criminal record to underage drinkers is unfair and exaggerated, as a criminal record permanently jeopardizes employment and emigration, and will get a person barred from entering Canada for 5 years. You want to visit Toronto, but four years ago you were caught drinking at the age of 20? Impossible, you’ll get arrested and deported at the border. The punishment doesn’t fit the "crime" at all.

In the state of New Mexico, it’s a FELONY to give alcohol to someone under 21, but only a MISDEMEANOR to drive drunk, even on the third offense. Any reasons for that?

Underage drinking and drunk driving are two entirely different things. I take drunk driving very seriously and I even think aggravated drunk driving (over .12) should be a felony.

Canada has a lower rate of car crashes and deaths and far less problems with alcohol use by young people.

What justifications do you Americans have for these criminal penalties for such a trivial "offense" as consuming alcohol under 21?
Just a little side note: unless you live in the state of Mississippi, people in the 18-20 age group are NOT "minors". The age of majority is 18 (19 for Alabama and Nebraska). You have to say "person under 21", "underage drinker" or "underager" as these people are NOT minors.
Sure Texas is one of the most lenient states relatively to under-21 drinking, I knew that alreay. However, Texas and Ohio are the only big states to allow parents to give alcohol to their children. In 20 states, including most of the large ones (California, New York, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Arizona, North Carolina) it’s a criminal offense for a parent to serve any amount of alcohol to their children. Another oddity is in South Dakota, South Carolina and West Virginia, parents may serve alcohol to their children, but it’s still a criminal offense or the under-21 person to drink it.

My point is that any underage drinking related offense that does not involve driving should only be punished by civil penalties, not criminal ones.

I live in the US and completely agree with you. Raising the drinking age from 18 to 21 has had so many adverse effects on young adults drinking. This is because our politicians generally do not do what is good for the country anymore, they just do things that make them look good for the public. There is no justification for giving criminal penalties to a minor who went to a party and had a few drinks. We all have made mistakes as teenagers. However, I give them some credit because they have lightened up a little on the marijuana possession laws. Don’t get me wrong, I love this country, but things have been going crazy lately.

if a devastating cat 5 (200mph winds) hits the caribean and causes thousands of death and 100s of billions in damage, then moves on to mexico, and crosses to the pacific, they wouldve retired it’s name.

but since it actually crosses to the pacific, it reagains strength, and causes more billions$ and deaths.

will they change the name to a pacific storm, or will they keep the same name as an atlantic and pacific storm. will it have the same record, the same name.

so what im asking is, will they change the name, and willl it have a new record diiferent in the pacific than atlantic.

would they actually do that, or will the world know it by only one name

and if you see this question, go to my questions and asnwers and help answer some others please
remember, im talking about if not what can.

According to the National Hurricane Center, it used to be that a storm crossing into the Pacific basin would get a new name from the Eastern Pacific list of names. However, the rules have changed and as long as the system does not die and become a tropical depression, it will retain the Atlantic basin name. If it becomes only a tropical depression as it crosses into the Pacific or if a Pacific named storm crosses into the Atlantic (yes, it has happened) will it be given a new name.

Here is the web page from the National Hurricane Center that explains the current rules.

http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/B5.html

Now if you are asking if the name has to be changed since the name is retired after causing the initial damage, that would not happen. The Name of a hurricane is only retired after the end of the "season" when a committee made up of regional member nations of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) meets to consider if any names need to be retired and if so, to nominate a replacement name for the one retired to the WMO.

EDIT: for UALog

I believe I know your answer. I recall a conversation many years ago with someone who knows more on the subject than I, and what they told me is the WMO committe members have an informal agreement that names for the Atlantic basin will not be used for the Eastern Pacific and also the other way around. If that does exist, that would solve any confusion. I may not be correct since my memory is not as good as it once was but that is the way I remember the conversation. I checked and don’t see any names that are the same (several very similar) on the lists at this point.

My Grandmother died in 1949 in Los Angeles California. I looked on the California and Los Angeles County records website to see if I can order her Death Certificate as part of a geneology project but it says 1995 to present deaths only. I went to rootsweb and got her SSN#, but not sure if its correct. Where else can I look?

This link is to the California Death Index. Enter her first name, her married surname and the death year. The results should give you her date of birth/death, her maiden name and her mother’s maiden name http://vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ca/death/search.cgi

For death certificates, you find more information about how to order copies for deaths between 1905 – present at this link http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/birthdeathmar/Pages/default.aspx

They actually want our planet to get even colder. Wouldn’t that cause even more deaths?

http://www.news-press.com/article/20100127/GREEN/1270389/Manatee-deaths-from-cold-a-record

Not being a liberal I can only speculate that because manatees are not "cute or cuddly animals" their plight seems less important to some, that is what was said by experts on Discovery Channel.
