Probably is a crazy idea, but think carefuly about it.
Famous people has been killed by internet hoax several times. f.ex Lady Gaga already died for the third time. When Will Smith "died" a few days ago the news in Facebook received 1M "likes".

Do you guys realize the viral potential that these names could have?
Obviously is just an experiment, but for "each time" these people dies the volume searches increase exponentionaly in a few days and if the owner of this domains know how to use them correctly can see high posibilities of people clicking on his ads.
Check out the statistics of those keyword searches in google:
Bob Marley Death - Competition - 4% - Broad Searches: 60.500 - CPC: 1,04 €
Elvis Death - Competition - 2% - Broad Searches: 49.500 - CPC: 0,36 €
Eminem Death - Competition - 0% - Broad Searches:27.100 - CPC: 1,33 €
Rihanna Death - Competition - 1% - Broad Searches: 9.900 - CPC: 0,83 €
Will Smith Death - Competition - 2% - Broad Searches: 9.900 - CPC: 0,58 €
I know is not impressive at all.... at the moment... But you've checked the competition?
Build a good content in a mini blog related this issue, Include ads, work on SEO to stay in the top of SERP's, and then start a campaing with news here and there, some posts, link building and emails, some movements around social medias and let the viral process continue working.
In some cases, like Eminem's, has 0% of competition!!!!!!
Don't you guys really see the potential that this names have?
And in the meantime, if you are lucky and Lady Gaga appears dead in a toilet with her nose covered with a "cloud of dust" after a big party I think you can probably go to holidays for the next 6 months at least.
Just check out what happened when michael jackson dead in 2009:

Wouldn't you wondered to have a blog whith content and ads the day it happened?
Think about it. Is it really a crazy idea? I really appreciate valued opinions, not just "clown idea" or "ocaiodeath.com is tempting"... I recognize I'm newbie, not like you (domains gurus). And that's why I ask you. Any constructive criticism will be welcome.
