I think a tag that could be used to more effect is the "Disappearance" tag. If there's characters in a pasta whom we assume die because they meet up with the pasta bogeyman, but it's left ambiguous, I would use that instead. Good point. This wiki seriously needs way more pastas where the death of the character is left open, there is much more suspense that way. As I said, I'm not an expert at these kind of things, so I guess maybe my "method of death" idea wouldn't change very much, either. When I think about this, there really are many creative ways writers give their characters the axe. For example, what if someone actually infected someone with a heavy illness which makes the body age rapidly to kill the person? Would it be listed under Killings or under Natural Death, because it practically was the person's body/high age which finished him/her off? That would be some of these cases where writers get confused. But unfortunately, I don't have many other ideas besides "Death by *insert cause of death here*". Guess I'm not very helping that much...
