If you are a gentle soul who is easily affected by death and some of the sadder elements of the internet, do not read on.

My RSS reader picked up a story from InformationWeek about MyDeathspace.com. This is a site that lets uses submit links and articles relating to MySpace.com who have died.

This is a sad and morbid site. Mike Patterson, creator of the site, lists each submission with a photo taken from the person's MySpace page, and a running tally of deaths, murders,  and suicides. Most of the listings include details about the death usually in the form of a copied news paper article. There are also listings for murderers, like Conner Schierman, mixed in with the death listings.

Oh, if there's anything that screams "stranger danger!", it's this.
