I could imagine lots of situations where a person's life was
closely
followed during a certain period, and then the person
dropped
into
obscurity, to the point where no one in the media even
noticed
his/her
death.

Absolutely. I think we've all worked on at least one such article;
purely off the top of my head I can remember [[Guillermo
Hernández-Cartaya]]. I wanted to use the DOJ's biographical
information to put his death sometime in the '90s, but that didn't
seem kosher at the time.
