My best friend died in late summer of this year. I just found out now, because we haven't really seen each other since last year. We were busy with life. I feel so guilty now that I didn't spend more time with her. She was like a sister to me. It was just that we grew apart a little, because of the bad crowd she started to hang with after she quit highschool. I warned her about the people she thought were her friends but she never wanted to listen or just didn't understand. I heard she died at a party. Knowing my area and where I live, I suspect someone put something in her drink. I don't know the exact details of her death. Does anyone know an obituary site where I can find this information? It really hurts to look this up, but I feel it will give me some closure.

The community Newspaper will have the obit you are looking for but may not have the details. You are better off talking to her parents, maybe stop by with a memento you have that they may appreciate - let them know you only just found out and wished you had been there. Parents will usually open up to a friend of a child and it will help them to know you still cared even though you and she had grown apart. You always held the hoped she would get better before the worst happened. Good luck and I am sorry for your loss.

Check the obituary section of the local newspaper. You should be able to look on their website to get to the obits. There should be a way to search by last name or by a date range. If they don't have it on their website, you should be able to call the newspaper. Or look on the county website for the coroner's office. They might have some info also.

If you believe this to be a wrongful death then you should call teh police department and help them by providing information. SInce you were best friends you may know things that otehrs do not and you would be helping to bring justice to her and her family. I would check the local papers for more information. If she passsed somewhere otehr than a hospital there may very well be plenty of information.

You can try to obtain a Death Certificate from the county she died in. Depending on where you live, laws vary. Check with the County Department of Vital Statistics or records. Due to confidentiality (HIPPA) it will be difficlut to get information.

I am so very sorry to hear of your friends death. There's nothing you could have done to prevent the bad choices she chose. Her family would probably really like to hear from you. A visit from someone who loved her would be welcome and give both you and them a chance to remember fun times, and maybe get some closure. Her family needs someone around who loved her. Best of luck.

Going to the grave site and talking to her will give you closure. Search the web for the city newspaper where she passed away, that is where I found my friends obit.

Why not call her parents and express your condolences? This seems like a more personal way for you to get closure. Visit them and talk about the good times you remember with your best friend (their daughter).

I am so very sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose a friend, even if you're not as close as you once were.
To find her obituary, try the National Obituary Archive, which searches names by city & state:

I wish you well.
God bless,

You should contact her family and give your condolences. Maybe they can tell you what happened. They will probably be more than willing to talk about it. If you aren't satisfied with what they tell you, it is still likely that you will get some clues to where to find more information.
