> There is no law against making your family member's cause of death public.

Yes, I was arguing as much. If the deceased wishes in that regard were known or the family wants to keep the cause of death private, I think they should be able to and federal law is on their side.

> And families are not doing their famous relative any favor by hiding the cause because the public will assume the worst case.

While true, why would a dead person even care about that? It's the family left behind who might care, so it should be them who decides unless the deceased had specific wishes in that regard.

Just my opinion.
