I think this would be overreaching. I know that I would want to murder Hubskiers who attempted to track down my friends & family. After all, let's go with the worst-case scenario: let's assume dead5 really did kill himself (we have confirmed he hasn't). If you were his friend or family member, would you really want to confirm messages from totally anonymous, unknown people on the internet who didn't even know his real name that yes, he had done so?

Wouldn't you prefer a private grief instead of having to inform people unknown internet strangers that yes, he really was dead?
