I mean to be fair we're all here clicking on this one to cheer at the guy. News organizations are going to run stories that get them clicks. While we may consider his death important and noteworthy, none of us are going to click and read an article about how Joe Random died from his heart failure or diabetes.

Maybe not, but we absolutely click on an article detailing just what the fuck e.g. the government is actually going to do about it.
