Agree, those things for me would fall under the same general rule about avoiding using recent tragic life events as settings in stories. I know there is a disconnect between fans and celebrities, but at the end of the day these are not fictional characters and there needs to be a certain level of respect even when writing fiction. I remember noncon/rape was a popular trope in the J2 fandom and I always dreaded the day any of the actors came across it.
