Q: gruesome private investigation

Ten years ago, my then-fiancé and boyfriend of five years started a relationship with another woman and then broke up with me to continue that. I wasn't exciting enough or pretty enough and other insulting reasons. We never spoke again. At the time, it was really crushing. By the time I found someone else, it was too late for me to have children with my own eggs, and it also took years for me to recover from the whole thing. I have moved on. I married someone wonderful and had a beautiful child through egg donation. I have a satisfying career and a good life. But a small part of me has always hoped that the relationship between the ex and the other woman wouldn't last. Fast forward to today. I've never looked up the ex, but every few years, I've looked up the other woman. It turns out she died a couple years ago. The obituary did not say what happened and I am curious about it. I could find out anonymously for not very much money by hiring a private investigator. It seems totally tawdry to seek grim satisfaction from finding out more. I know it's tacky. Is it also wrong? Does it matter as long as it is anonymous? (To be clear, the private investigator can get records through freedom of information act requests that would not be in my name. So no one would contact anyone involved, and they also wouldn't know that anyone had obtained the information. It would just be a records request from the city, and would not bring any more pain to her family or my ex.) Thank you for your thoughts.
