Why does it say pending in the newspaper when he died 2 weeks ago?

There are a few possible reasons why it might say "pending" in the newspaper when someone has died.

* The newspaper may be waiting for confirmation of the death from the next of kin or from the relevant authorities.

* The death may have been sudden or unexpected, and the newspaper may be waiting for more information before publishing an obituary.

* The newspaper may be running out of space and may have decided to hold off on publishing the obituary until there is more room available.

If you are concerned about why an obituary has not been published for someone who has died, you can contact the newspaper directly to inquire.
