    Do You Actually Research?

    Important to remember that the Daily Mail has DailyMail.com (covered mostly by reporters in the USA) and Daily Mail Australia (covered mostly by reporters in Australia). They're quite different from just a regional section, the like of which appears on the BBC homepage. That increases your obituary chances for a few more obscure figures and politicians, as the reporters have more chance of picking up local stories. Additionally, the Daily Mail often gives obituaries for US Senators and Representatives through the Associated Press wire, due it being an American news organisation. Ice Hockey, Baseball and American Football players are also profiting from the AP wire on the Daily Mail and gaining obituaries when those sports have a very low level of importance or coverage in the UK.
