Death as Career Move

Is being an artist the only job where dying is a good career move? The one sure way to increase the value and sales of your artwork is to die, especially if you die in some sort of dramatic way that is widely publicized. When an artist dies, no new work will be created, and the work that exists is all that there is or will ever be. For some people, this creates a feeling of scarcity, and there is more demand for the work.

The other thing that strikes me as strange is that artists' resumes continue after they die. Does this happen in any other profession? The artist dies, but the work continues to be shown, and the list of exhibitions on the artist's resume continues after death. Doesn't this seem a little weird to you?
