Second Life & Second Death / Illnesses

I think I’ve seen the biggest boom this summer of people in Second Life saying they have cancer or have someone else come on and post that’s said, “OMG! So and so has died by [insert some form of tragic death]…..”

I’m pretty sure, that at least twice a month….. or more…. I’ve heard this about someone, somewhere, in Second Life. I’m not going to go out on a rant here, because well….. someone who would fake a major illness or a death doesn’t really deserve one. However….. I will post two very relevant pieces of information for people to view.
