Something I read somewhere in the depths of this interweb thingy said that, on the consumer side, they were keeping the fadey logo but adding the little flame thing next to it.

Whilst I vehemently disagree with his stance on condom use, I don't think that the deaths of people from...

Deaths are generally classified as coming about through "Criminal Acts", "Misadventure", or "Natural Causes", the latter being pretty-much a catch-all category for any disease-related death. There are other classifications which are less commonly used, such as "Unk...
