Answer 1

Most libraries can provide internet access to newspaper in other cities - check with the Reference Section.

Answer 2

If you know the date, and place of death, you can order a death certificate, which will list the cause of death.
As to old news articles, the same applies. If you know where, you can do a net search on the local papers, and write, or call to find out if the article ran in that paper, and order a copy.
Some local libraries keep the paper of microfilm, and might do a search for you. (possible for a small fee.) Or you might be able to get the microfilm on an inter-library loan.
If you do not know the date of death, try going to one of the free genealogy sites, and doing a social security death index search. It will tell you when, and where he died.

Something on
