I also heard that someone had died but was going to wait until someone from the MC confirmed it.

How different is it from the DO's because if someone died then we'd still be expected to finish our work that day.

But we do have a minutes silence on the annoucment and on the day of their funeral as a mark of remeberance. I try to go to their funerals as well if the family allow it.
