Perth: City of Sun, Sand... and Shady Demise Rumors?
Let's face it, Perth is a vibrant city. But sometimes, whispers flit through the grapevine like a rogue quokka on the loose: did So-and-so kick the bucket? Fear not, fellow Perthonians! Here's your survival guide to navigating the murky waters of deathly gossip.
Step 1: Embrace the Detective Within (But Dial Down the Trench Coat)
Social Media Sleuthing: Facebook isn't just for cat videos anymore. Check if their profile has gone quiet, or if their previously tropical vacation pics are replaced with, well, nothing. But remember, absence doesn't always mean six feet under. Maybe they're just on a digital detox.
The Obituary Obituary: Perth has a plethora of online obituaries. My tributes is a good place to start. But a word of caution: Perth's a big place, so don't jump to conclusions based on a single Smith or Jones.
Step 2: Consult the Authorities (Unless You Fancy Getting Arrested)
- The WA Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages: The official source for all things birth, death, and (thankfully) marriage. You can search their online index for free, but obtaining a death certificate usually requires a fee.
Step 3: Phone a Friend (The Non-Creepy Kind)
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
- Reach Out to Mutual Buddies: A quick call to a friend who knows both you and the potentially deceased can clear the air. Just avoid showing up at their doorstep in a black veil – that might raise some eyebrows.
Important Note: If you're trying to track down a missing person, contacting the police is always the best course of action.
So You've Discovered the Truth... Now What?
Whether your suspicions are confirmed or denied, treat the situation with sensitivity. If it's a death, offer condolences to those grieving. If they're alive and well (and perhaps a tad miffed about your death inquiry), maybe bake them a celebratory lamington – they're practically immortal, after all.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
