Talk:List of unsolved deaths

Robert Maxwell
It has never been established if Maxwell's death was an accident, suicide or murder. Shouldn't there be an entry for him? 147.147.24.46 (talk) 20:24, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

King Tut
Tutankhamun should probably be on the list; there have been several different attempts to establish the cause of his early death (he was aged around eighteen to twenty). Illness, a fall from a horse, an epileptic seizure or assassination by someone close to him? 188.150.64.57 (talk) 18:38, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

19th century
The first example of an unsolved death in the 19th century section is Meriwether Lewis along the Natchez Trace. It was called a "nature trail", when in fact it was a major indigenous travel-way for up to 10,000 years. [https://www.nps.gov/natr/learn/historyculture/index.htm#:~:text=Congress%20designated%20the%20Natchez%20Trace,use%20dates%20back%2010%2C000%20years. https://www.nps.gov/natr/learn/historyculture/index.htm#:~:text=Congress%20designated%20the%20Natchez%20Trace,use%20dates%20back%2010%2C000%20years.]. I have made edits in the past but have not attempted anything like this and I hope and expect someone will make this section better. Krisandtim (talk) 05:52, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

The body was found today and no coroner's report has been published yet. Are we going to cheapen the encyclopedic basis of this article by adding every recent death where a cause of death hasn't been declared yet? I propose guidelines that deaths should be a) a narrative verdict or local equivalent, in which a coroner was officially unable to reach a conclusion of the cause of death or b) no cause of death was reported five years after the death (we're not working to a WP:DEADLINE and to use a morbid phrase, nobody's going to die because we didn't add somebody straight away).
