Hmm, my dad died from cancer and all we got was $200,000 of debt. I hope everyone who donated money hears about this and realizes that they may have been wasting it. I don't see why the shock value of the manner of death should make one death more worthy of donations to the family than others. If you look at the circumstances, tsunami victims and people dying by the thousands each day in third-world countries probably need your tax write-off more than the family of a bond trader.
