Online person might be dead… how would we find it out?

I kinda want to know methods to verify that a person is alive and well, dead (or as sick as it may seem a fake account faking it)

Obits and mortality databases are useful

…assuming you have a rough location, gender and age-range…

It might vary based on location?

I’m unsure of how effective it is. Advice welcome?

@GoldenOldie not sure to be honest.I worked for a funeral home for 2 days. I couldnt deal. Thats how I remember about the list

@legalboxers Hmm are some deaths (within the US) unlisted?

My specifics would be within February 2009, Texas (South Texas) It would probably be a Female, younger too -- like 14-22 is the age-range if I had to pick ages.

Is any of this likely to mean the name is included? I'm unsure about the US... do you know if underage (below 18) have SS to be in the SSDI?

Thanks!
