I never said he should get a fucking headline above the fold, now did I? What pisses me off is the whole "oh, by the way, before I forget to mention" attitude I get from the whole article--which is about sentencing someone for permitting minors to drink. The two are not even related--except for alcohol on premises.
Instead of doing that--a simple obituary would have been better.

I have to agree. The blokes death does deserve some recognition and for it to be shoved at the end of an article about sentencing an individual for allow minors to drink is wrong. It should have had something like a mini article on the side column or something to that degree.
It is news, maybe not the death of the man as such, it is no big shock as death happens all the time, but it kind of reflects on the staff who were working that night and staff in general, who don't seem to pay attention to their customers. I for one have only come across a handful of bartenders who pay attention to you and try to slow one down when drinking (if too much) and actually make smal talk when collecting glasses from your table to check everything is ok. Now I understand that it's not possible to do this if it is a busy night, but I think someone already mentioned it was a Wednesday which over here is a pretty relaxed night compared to Thursdays and the weekend. My question is why did no one notice anything "odd" about him when they go to collect glasses from his table? (I'm assuming he was actually drinking in the bar)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
