But at least the basic cause of death is generally known, even if it's something like AIDS, if not the complete picture. For example, we know that the cause of Princess Di death was RTA, even if we can speculate that the crash was deliberately instigated and not an accident.
News reporters are almost everywhere, and death certificates/inquests are more accurate at establishing cause of death, so we're not leaving such mysteries behind. There are certain deaths, like those of Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, Paula Yates and Peaches, where the causes are well known, but the whys and wherefores are still clouded in mystery.
With the Brontes, the actual causes still leave room for doubt and speculation.
