The mix of reactions in this thread is exactly why I think it should be a matter of Buyer's due diligence. If this is the kind of thing that would bother you, then you should ask when you're thinking about buying a house.

For me, death wouldn't bother me, as long as it wasn't really grisly and recent, then I might hesitate. However, I would ask every time if there have been any grow-ops on the block in the past 5 years, simply because, in my experience, they often cluster, and bring a potential for bad traffic, violence, and associated collateral mayhem that would make me think twice about a property.

If I'm worried about that, I should ask questions and investigate. If I'm worried that a pedophile or sex offender might live nearby I should investigate that possibility and ask that question. Why does the Seller have to guess what the Buyer might be worried about? Ghosts? Pets buried in the back yard? Annoying neighbours that play loud music or smoke on their balcony? Where does it end?
