Its really great to see all this recent work on morning and death online. For what its worth, as its not about suicide, i wrote about mourning on the mailing list Cybermind around two deaths in

"Culture, Disorder, and Death in an Online World" in Honglei Li (ed) 2012. Virtual Community Participation and Motivation: Cross-Disciplinary Theories. IGI Global: pages 330-346.

if your university subscribes to IGI, then you can probably get an electronic version. 

There is further discussion of cybermind and death in my "living on cybermind" book, and in 

Argyle, "Life after death" in , R.Shields (ed.), Cultures of the internet: Virtual spaces, real histories, living bodies. London, UK: Sage. 1996

Mia Lipner had a sound peice on the same death in Women and Performance 17, from the perspective of the list Futureculture see http://terrisenft.net/wp17/index.html but i have no idea where you would get that now.

One of the articles i liked best during my reading for the article above was 

Saarinen, L. (2002). "Imagined community and death". Digital Creativity, 13(1), 53–61.
