Default Suicide and real estate disclosure

The house next door is in the foreclosure process. One of the owners committed suicide about 2-3 years ago and its been empty since. My question is this: When it finally goes on sale, will the agent be required to disclose the suicide, or will the buyers learn after they close and move in? Most of us neighbors know, so they are sure to discover this at some point, though they certainly won't hear it from me. The death was particularly grim and will disturb even the most even-tempered person.

So are there any real estate legal folks out there who know this answer?
