Oh, I was thinking maybe they'd say in their ad.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Basically anything that is available in public record. No idea how quickly a recent death would make it into public record, though.
ETA: I'm going to wait for feedback before making a decision I may regret.

OK, the Barron county office makes no mention on how long it'd take. Possibly my sis or her gf could go to the state office in person. Otherwise I'm tempted to spring for an expedited fax request, which would take "within seven business days."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Our city and state require a public death announcement in the classified section of the newspaper, to give creditors the chance to present their claims before any estate is awarded to the heirs. I'd say the announcement is within a week to ten days of issuance of the death certificate (in cases where the body wasn't found for some time after death, and wasn't certified by authorities until its discovery). So, newspaper files for classifieds--if this is standard practice elsewhere--might yield results newspaper obits have not.

I checked the state of Wisconsin newspaper legal notices and there was no notice.
Kristin, they get their information from databases that may be as much as 6 months old. I wouldn't spend the money.

Our wings are not tired.
The records search sites most likely have some time delay. I thought most areas had death notices for everyone even if the family did not pay for a more detailed obit. A call to the local clerk's office would likely be the most timely method of finding out this information.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
You can get a expedited search (by fax) in about seven days, or an in-person request in an hour or so....
I think that's only for the certified certificate and you need to be related to request that one.

I had to go back and check, but it looks like that's not the case.
In response to customer requests, the Wisconsin Vital Records Office can now expedite in-person requests for both certified and uncertified copies of death certificates for an additional fee.
eta: It doesn't say for the fax ones, but it says all fax requests pay the expedited rate, so I'm assuming it would be similar to expedited, uncertified in-person...
Gawd, my head is about to explode....
