Help finding source of tragic note added to an individual's record
I am helping a friend (who was adopted as an infant) track down her biological family tree. In the record for the person who is likely her biological mother, a note was added about her tragic death, but I cannot find any source for this information. Is there anyway to contact the user who originally posted it?

Did you click on the contributor's id? You should be able to contact the contributor by private message, unless it's an older post, imported from the previous platform.

The note is from 2013, and I cannot click on the ID.

An item added in 2013 likely came from the previous platform. User identification from the old platform was not imported into the current one.

Have you tried taking either the full note or keywords and doing just a general internet search? Have you looked for the same person on Ancestry, My Heritage, or other sites? If you have found an entry for her on another site have you tried contacting the people who created those profiles? Have you tried putting her name in Google with her death date and the term "obituary"? If you have her death date and place, have you tried contacting a library or newspaper office in that place with a request for research help? Has anybody worked on her FamilySearch profile? Have you tried contacting all of them since there is a good chance one of them put the note on?
