Most folks don't like doing so because it highlights the insensetivity towards somebody who may actually be grieving that person's death. Whether the person in grief knew the deceased or not really doesn't matter.
Just because you may not mind if we crack jokes about you when you die doesn't mean your friends and family will.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
