Coverage framed this entire piece as a celebrity sendoff. The guest list got three paragraphs and the widow got six sentences. That's the editorial choice right there. Grief runs on names when the framing decides what gets space.

Hansard's life was steeped in music, from first picking up a guitar as a teenager right until the final hours of his life, when he was performing in a traditional music session.

    'Steeped in music' and 'three paragraphs on the guest list' are doing opposite work. Either the session matters or the attendance sheet matters. One of those is about the man, the other is SEO with a photo gallery attached.
