Are death records public or are they private?

August 1st, 2011 3 comments

We got a call that my friend was dead. The family wouldn’t say how or why. We called the courthouse and they said only family is privy to that information. It has been a couple years and I’d like to dig for the information. I always thought circumstances of death are public record…but so far, since we are not provable family, we are unable to get information.

It amazes me how many celebrities die from drug overdoses, murder, auto-erotic-asphyxiation (INXS, David Carradine), DUI’s and other car crashes. We get to hear all the gory details when I’m sure the families would rather the information stay private. I’m not sure why I don’t have the same power as the media being a citizen of the USA.

If anyone has any tips on how I can get this information, please let me know.
I live in CA now but it happened in New York City where I used to live.

They are public information and you need to contact the county the friend died in to receive a copy of the death certificate.

BUT…as you said, families of the celebrities would like to have that information stay private. Please give the same respect to you friends family, whether you like them or not. Although it is public record, it it is still a private matter.

If you had a clean DL for over 15 yrs and had 1 bad accident w no injury/death, what happens to DL & insurance

Would appreciate response in terms of insurance (over 9 months paid insurance still left) and the car being beyond recovery, may result in me going for a new car as well as my DL with no negative record ever in California state. The accident was just an accident – no DUI, no neglect on any person’s part!
I add that I have not been cited for the accident and also, i have not had any mishap or problem with my DL (absolutely clean) in any of the other states in US or overseas with my current licence or with my previous licenses in NJ state and in Cananda

I’m an insurance guy myself and that’s a common question. First of all, the status of your DL will depend on if you were cited for anything. You didn’t say whether you were or not, so I’ll assume you weren’t. Your DL will be unaffected. Your insurance rates will increase. That’s standard practise. But you won’t have any immediate out of pocket insurance expenses (since your deductible will be taken from your total loss check), so you won’t see an increase in rates until you renew your policy in 9 months.
