The article tags say it's one, though...

it says in the september article from wired establishing the cause of death may take weeks, is it mentioned somewhere now?
In the article:

Outside of major public figures it's not that unusual. Writing an obit. takes time, especially for lesser known figures where you may need to contact friends and family (who may be grieving) for information about the person's life.
