He "died" in Kansas City, not Ohio, though. I'm not saying the death thing isn't a script, but I don't think this is proof, either. The email states that they searched the records for deaths in Ohio only

The only thing that he's right on is that it's weird that there's no tributes or obituaries, but that could be because they don't want IP2 people to fuck with online obits etc
