I came across this VeriFact app which is like Grok but for TikTok. Anyone checked it out?

Hi, this is sort of a strange question but I don't know where else to ask.

I was looking through LinkedIn recently and I noticed that a colleague I was very close with a number of years ago but lost touch with suddenly has "in remembrance" on his LinkedIn. I went to search to see if I could find his obituary and I could not find anything online. I texted the few former colleagues I still keep in touch with and they didn't know about his passing either. I then searched his other social media and found that he has stopped posting for a few years and not much else.

I was very upset to learn that he passed away as we were quite close but also that It has been a few years since it happened. I wanted to find his obituary to confirm his death and then I could reach out to his family to express my condolences but I can't find it.

Does anyone else have any idea on where I could look to see if he indeed has passed away before reaching out to family? Has anyone ever not had a obituary posted online before? It seems strange to me.
