Oh, Saffron, I completely agree with you and I haven't tried to point out that people owe me anything (including notifications about leaving). I just said I consider it nice enough on their part when they do.OK but like.... People die. For all any model knows, a regular could be visiting as a form of escape from a terminal illness, and it advances quicker than they expected. Or they have a heart attack, or a stroke, wind up in a car crash, a natural disaster happens, if they're in the US they could get caught up in a mass shooting.... They can't really give us a heads up that they're about to die unexpectedly. Is it common? Probably not. Does it happen? Certainly. Some models have been contacted by a deceased member's spouse, friend, or relative, but not everyone has someone that close to them.
Also, dead people can't come back to your (or anybody else's) room later so there is no place for awkwardness. Only for "I'm sorry".
By the way, your post reminded me of my forgotten thought.
"How many of my followers are dead already?".
It's interesting and scary at the same time.
