I believe that this page should be deleted because there is little content which is Important. The person did die which made it semi-notable, but other than that there doesn't seem to be much more to it than any other page created for bloggers or forum posters.

 * Keep It's an unusual story that gained a decent amount of popularity. The use of MySpace for a suicide note is notable. - Dalta
