Remember whats'er name? She played the girl in that dumb movie with whoziss. What ever happened to her? Specifically, is she dead yet?
Here's where to find out. The Dead People Server is a database of interesting celebrities who are long dead or newly dead. They may be "retired" or spaced. DPS tells you who has really Rung Down the Curtain and Joined the Choir Invisible, and who's Just Resting. To help the terminally confused, I've built a Quash Those Death Rumors page.
"Interesting," in the previous paragraph, means "I felt like putting them on this list." Your mileage will vary. If you're curious how I decide to add folks to the list, see the Guidelines.
If you can't find the answer here to your search, and you're looking for a movie or TV celebrity, go to the Internet Movie Database, an amazingly-complete database of anyone who's ever been on celluloid. I usually link to an individual's biography in IMDb by putting this graphic IMDb beside the entry. I'm adding links back to specific records in other useful content sites by using the following icons:
IBDB
Internet Broadway Database Record
FindAGrave
Interment Information at FindAGrave

If you have a photograph of someone who is listed in Dead People Server, I'll be happy to store the photograph here or link back to a photo at your site. Sketches are also welcome. Please note that you must be the owner of the photo or sketch; I do not include photos that are copyrighted by other people (publicity stills, et.c.). Submit photo.
The best search engine early in the current millennium was Google. Aside from its extremely timely updating and ease-of-use, Google scored points with me for refusing to sell those obnoxious pop-up ads.
Disclaimer: Information is provided by a variety of sources, not all of them reliable. Accuracy not guaranteed, so DPS accepts no responsibililty for incorrect data. I try to check all material against at least two sources, and do not include purely bogus material. If you're trying to research a celebrity that interests you, here's how to do the research. You might consult DPS or the "How to Find" file first before posting the question to alt.obituaries.
If you find this kind of trivia intriguing, you might want get involved with deadpools. I've been following the stiffs.com and The Lee Atwater Invitational Deadpool since 1997, and usually entered it. Stiffs.com also runs its own message board. You're welcome to use DPS for research for this or any of the other deadpools that are out on the Web. I also maintain a short list of recommended deadpools.
Six Feet Under was the "official" television program of Dead People Server. It slipped at times, but it picked up again dramatically during its last season.
This site uses the PostCrypt True Type font for many of its headings. You can download PostCrypt for your Windows computer.
Now, you can access the latest deaths list from your cell phone at: http://216.92.255.170/wap/dps.html
If you run a radio talk show, I can be available to play trivia or talk about the site or the Internet in general. Drop me a line to arrange an appearance or interview.
