Default Given the population

While admittedly a muder in a home might give me a little pause (I would re-examine the history of the area) before purchasing, my only concern with a death would be that the home was properly cleaned so that I would not be worried about biological hazards still present (and if there are no disclosure requirements I guess a little faith is needed). Yes, suicide can be upsetting, but if you really think about it, there is a percentage of people who pass in their homes in the Villages (many people who live in the Villages refer to themselves as "Frogs" afterall!). If the nature of one's passing bothers you enough that it impacts your plans to purchase, you probably always need to buy a brand new home (and even this doesn't guarantee anything).
