Guess Mark Rodney's Cause, Win $25—Morbid Lottery
In a twist that screams 'What even?', Mark Rodney, aged 52, passed away suddenly last Saturday. According to his family, 'The first person to correctly guess his cause of death will win a $25 Visa gift card.' Because nothing says respect like turning a sudden death into a macabre guessing game with a budget prize. Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where suffering grief turned into a game show with a cash prize? Either this family’s hosting the world’s bleakest raffle or this is performance art meeting dark humor, courtesy of The Onion.

So let me get this straight: Mark Rodney's family turns sudden death into a $25 guessing game? That's the kind of charity drive where dignity goes missing faster than your hopes at a gas station lottery. Morbid and weirdly capitalist.
This isn’t a death announcement; it’s a budget horror trivia night sponsored by Visa. Next up: guessing the will amount for an iTunes gift card.
Only in 2024 does sudden death come with a notable prize—a $25 Visa gift card. What’s next? Funerals with raffle tickets and Postmortem bingo?
