Answer 1

Look it up in the "Social Security Death Index" available at roots or ancestry.com

It's an index of virtually all US deaths since the 1940's... updated several times a year. That 2 year ago death should be on the index.

Answer 2

Get in touch with the Anchorage Ak.Coroner's office. You should be able to search the rcords of death or death certificates or Coroner's reports. (she suffered an overdose.) Also the local forensic pathologist can lay his hands on her post mortem examination report quickly. He probably did the autopsy..
Also, check out the obituaries in the Anchorage Daily News The main newspaper there for Sept. 2004.
Good luck.
Sounds like a sad story.

try this website. You can enter in the month and year that you want to search. Type Obituaries in also. It is the archives for the anchorage alaska newspaper, Its a good start. I searched through all the obits for sept. but didn't find any with that first name. Good Luck. you also might try www.ancestry.com I hope that this helps you.

Answer 4

It depends on what the state of Alaska requires. You may be able to access the information thru "vital statistics or records", social security records will also tell the date of death. Particularly, if he was underage when she passed.

Answer 5

look through obituaries around the time that she died
