A few more details about Jobs' death

Keeping to its secretive ways, Apple said next to nothing last week about the death of Steve Jobs (other than he died). So now comes word that the cause of death was respiratory arrest, and place of death was his home in Palo Alto. Also, Bloomberg reports that Jobs was buried at a non-denominational cemetery in Santa Clara County on Friday (the name of the person who filled out the certificate was blacked out).

The company had notified the Palo Alto, California, police department a few days before his death that Jobs was expected to die. The police department sought to be made aware so it could have patrols ready in case large numbers of mourners gathered at Jobs's home, Sandra Brown, a spokeswoman for the department, said last week.

Apple is planning an in-house event on Oct. 19 to honor Jobs.
