We call these "Death/s of Others." To review these cases CLICK Deaths - Not Qualified: Although we keep these stories they are not in our totals. These are stories about offenders who have died in ways that do not fit criteria for our blogs. i.e. Offenders who died of natural causes or accidents, etc. When evaluating submissions for our blogs if they match these offenders then we know immediately they should not be included. This saves us research time. CLICK to review these stories. All of the statistics below come from either the Suicide or Murder Blogs.
