Bob – this is not directed at you, so please don’t take it that way. It’s directed at our prying-eyes society.
I’m no lawyer, either, but if there’s no criminal activity involved – and I don’t suppose there is – what possible compelling public interest is there for the information NOT to be sealed?
The man’s wife died, he and his children are dealing with the horrible ramifications of this, and he’d like his privacy. I don’t see why it should be denied him.
The only purpose of releasing the information would be so others can stick their nose in his business, publish the “shocking details,” and give a few heartless fans something to jeer him about.

Schoeneweis has filed suit to make his wife’s death certificate private and I believe it still is now pending a court ruling. I don’t think it will be granted. Not that I’m a lawyer, but I don’t think there’s a compelling public interest to keep the information sealed.

Does anyone know what was cause of the death? Scott is doing the proper thing in stepping away from the game at this time. Being there for your children is so important. No amount of money can buy that. I am wishing Mr. Schoenweis and his family nothing but the best through this very diffult time.
