There are many more. Here are three for starters. As far as the Social Security Death Index goes, I don't know how long after a person dies, will his name show up on the index. Also, I think that a relative has had to apply for the social security death benefit before the person is listed. For instance, a lot of my relatives are on the list, but my father isn't.

Here's another one:

Along these same lines: Does anyone know how to find out what someone died from or how they died? I know a family member can request a death certificate and that might tell you but Im not a famly member.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I believe that Death Certificates are a matter of public record and hence available to the public.

Because they are a matter of public record, family doctors have been known to enter "heart failure" as Cause of Death rather than "AID's".

Photomom, you might want to start a new thread on Death Certificates in the Legal forum.
