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?

I was in Real Estate for 30 yrs. in California and we had to disclose a suicide, death by any means whether by natural causes, accident, murder or suicide for 3 years after the event.
