I'd say that kind of information should be dribbled out so it eventually becomes another piece of family history.
My brother in law died of a drug OD when his sons were 3 and 5. He was a good man, it was a stupid one-time mistake that cost him his life. We never held back-the simplest terms at first-'daddy died from drugs' without details.
Kids have a right to know about their family. Actually, I'm kind of surprised that, if she died while your older son was here, it wasn't mentioned then.
