When you hear someone nearby dies, do you ever look up their Facebook?

My heart aches right now. I just saw a report that a young married couple (the woman was 8 months pregnant!) were killed in a car crash. I saw their facebook pages...to see how real their lives were just yesterday kinda really broke my heart...Does anyone else do that? Or is it weird?

[Hee Jun]

I don't use facebook

[midnight71]

It's weird.

[cynic32]

I don't think it is weird at all.

[Deep Blue]

No, I don't do that. If I didn't know them while they were alive I think it weird to try to get to know them after they have died.

There is a whole website that posts myspace pages of the recently departed.

No but you're right, things can change very rapidly ... so enjoy today while you can!

I'm an attorney, so I always look to see if the family has the possibility of filing charges against somebody...especially the city. Then I approach them with a strategy and a reasonable percentage.

No. I don't know them so why would I look up their facebook page? People die all the time, I just don't have the energy to grieve all the deaths in the world. It may sound harsh, but it's my view.
