Good point. If you have nobody, then nobody is going to notify any newspaper that you are dead. A paid executor likely won't, either. Your name would eventually turn up in Social Security death index, but even they need to be notified (your paid executor would do that).

Even people who have "somebody" don't necessarily get an obituary, just as neither of my two marriages got a wedding announcement in a newspaper.
