Thanks for calling, Tom. It's not a positive confirmation one way or the other, but it's useful information. Didn't die in Barron County.

It's going to be hard to prove that Guy Straley did not die. Perhaps we should think of ways to prove he's still alive. Posting on the wiki is sketchy but not conclusive.
The woman I talked to suggested I call the funeral home in Cameron. (If I understood her correctly, there\'s only one.) I don\'t have that number.
Googling Cameron Wisconsin funeral home turned up an address and phone number.
Now I'm wondering - since he was a Wisconsin resident, would the state office (Dept. of Health and Family Services) have to know? I mean, even if he died out of state, I would think they'd have to notify the proper authorities in his state of residence.
eta: OK, it seems I was wrong about this. They would only have records for deaths in Wisconsin.

Just to note for the record that Cameron is a small, rural town - if one were hospitalized, it's very likely that it would be outside of the county, or even the state, given the proximity to Minnesota.
I called the funeral home; they're gonna call me back (only a receptionist there now).

I was thinking the same thing. But odds are he passed away either in Wisconsin or Minnesota.
OK, what would a private dick do? Besides say, "Hey, lay off the dick jokes!"
