What? Why?
Dying is a part of life. Can your friends not just be happy for you?Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Which guide was that then?
Personally i'd start by getting a small excavator and digging up the the back garden. Then it'd be time for the floorboards to come up...0 -
The vast majority of Victorian and Edwardian houses have had people die (as well as being born) in them.
Word has it that quite a few have been conceived too

Well if the potential house was a meth lab or someone was murdered in it , i will be out0 -
.... Typing full address in Google and search?
Oh yes, fool-proof, works 100% of the time:
Also tells you if there a ghosts in the property, if anyone gave birth there or if anyone ever had sex outside marriage in it. Might be worth doing a bing.com search as well to be doubly certain.
You should assume, unless built very recently, that it is quite likely someone may have died there:
If this really matters to you ask the vendor & the neighbours: Then they'll know what sort of person is about to move in....
The link you provide below says nothing about people dying there, just murders: Where was your "check anyone died there" list from, please?
This is a wind-up, isn't it?0 -

People can die anywhere, marks and spencers in town, on the aircraft that you may be flying on, What's the worry?
As long as there arent a high number of murders on the street / area that you are buying on then I wouldnt worry0 -
Op has a very appropriate username for what is one of the most random house buying questions I've ever seen on here!0
