Question:

How else can you find out where someone died besides the SSDI?

The SSDI has where he last resided. He did not die there in Whiteside County Info: Keith E Miller DOB 01/10/1958 DOD 09/21/2005 I need to know where or how he died. Can you help me? I have tried looking for obits but have found none. I have checked in all counties surrounding Whiteside and they have no record of his death. Father name Harold Mother Shirley Both dead.

You can get a Death Certificate if you know where a person died. If not, you can do an Obituary Search. Death Certificates are issued by the town, City, County and transferred to the state. So, you should be able to get a Death Certificate from the state (which you did not mention). The Vital Record site below allows you to specify the State, then you follow the process to order the record. A death certificate would give the cause of death too.

Also, the Family Search site lists people by name, there are 19 entries but none with 9/21/2005. You should look there also.
