You will make the news if you're famous like Anthony Bourdain or Kate Spade. If you're not famous, then it's highly unlikely that any media will ever report on you, or at least it will be a brief mention without any name attached. For example, there was a woman who died (apparently suicide) on local train tracks. She got reported in local media but the report was limited to the fact that she is a female of age X who lives in City X and she died at X location at X time -- no name given for this mystery woman. And that's local media only, so 99.99% of America will never notice.
Russian teen Pavel Mateev got lots of attention for cutting his head off with a chainsaw. He would be unknown had he died in a conventional (and totally non-news-worthy manner) such as hanging.
We have seen that it's possible for an SS member to become news around the world, but that only happens when her mother goes around bitching to every media outlet on the planet that will listen. Do you have a mom who's a media whore?
