Why are we so infatuated with death?

Admit it....we all do it.....when a major movie star or someone on the news dies, the first thing that comes out is "How did they die?"
It's the end....they are no longer around and in a few months he/she might be bought up in conversation again. In a year, unless they were a family member or loved one, we've carried on with our lives. Why is it were so obsessed with HOW someone died?

Death is a big mystery, it falls into that unknown realm. As much as talking about death can be morbid, we are very curious and maybe a bit intrigued by it. We also are aware of our own immortality, and that can be both frightening and mysterious at the same time.
