Obituary Reads “She Died Suddenly, but Peacfully, in Her Sleep”?

Question by LOVEx :): obituary reads “she died suddenly, but peacfully, in her sleep”?
My childhood friend passed away recently she was 18 and her obituary just came out the other day. we were trying to figure out how she died because not a lot of people are talking. I heard that she “OD’d on vicodin” but we don’t know if was accidental or suicidal. apparently she was home alone when she did it…and her friends say that they think it was suicide because she would never take drugs by herself (i guess she would “abuse” them but only when she was with people) SO according to the obituary “she died suddenly, but peacefully, in her sleep” what do you think it indicates? She was a cheery, full of life, happy girl. Ive known many “happy” people that have committed suicide..but i just don’t see her ever doing it

The people who write the obits attempt to put as positive a spin on a person’s death as they can, considering the person died. They want those who knew the person to have some peaceful parting thoughts of the person so they make it sound as though their death did not include a great deal of pain or suffering. They attempt to give people the impression that the person’s death was as “easy” as a death could possibly be so those who read the obit don’t imagine all sorts or macabre things happening at the time of death.
