A place to find out if a famous person is dead or alive
Here's what the site isn't:
An obituary site
A biography site
A woefully out-of-date/inaccurate site
A mean-spirited site
An intentionally morbid site
A dead pool site
A missing persons site (unless the person is famous)
Regarding pictures:
Although having pictures on the site would definitely be desirable and helpful, for the present it has proven infeasible. Copyright laws govern the use of pictures and the ownership of such. The Dead or Alive? site does not own the publication rights to pictures of any famous people and has enough respect for the concept of intellectual property to avoid stealing the work of others for its own use. Pictures will have to remain on the wish list for the future.
