Question: Way to find out if someone is deceased!?
My father called me tonight wanting me to research online about one of his aquaintances!. One of my father's aquaintances is rumored to have lost his life by being involved in a gang related shooting!. I only know the man's name, age and where he went to college!. Is there any online resource where you can look up obituaries or something similar!?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!
