Summary/Abstract: This article is an analysis of verbal and non-verbal comments by Internet users, with said comments being reactions to the passing of a widely known or unknown person. Ways of writing about death and the deceased themselves in Internet comments (from Facebook) will be displayed. Additionally, the article will highlight how often said comments deviate from reception of grieving and death that has been cultivated for centuries, sometimes leading even to media exhibitionism.
