Someone finding your search history is the stuff of nightmares for some people - especially if it's a family member who stumbles across it.
For me, my hypochondria will be evident in most of my Google searches as I'm forever searching for illness symptoms and 'what does it mean if...' because I've somehow managed to convince myself that I'm dying.
And while I'm somewhat obsessed with my own health and the prospect of death, this kid was more interested in other people's death and how they met their fate.

In a viral video, a dad stumbled across his eight-year-old son's search history on his iPad and discovered that he'd Googled how the likes of Elvis, XXXTentacion and Michael Jackson died.
The young boy also searched for the lyrics of 'Lucid Dreams' by Juice WRLD - another deceased celebrity.
But it was the next one that really got the kid's dad and sister in fits of laughter as he'd also looked up 'bbq sauce on t*tties'.
Responding to the now-viral clip, one person wrote on social media: "Looool that is every eight year old."
Making a Friends reference, another person penned: "Chandler's search history!"
And another commented: "Makes me lol everytime I see this."
However, others were slightly more concerned with the eight-year-old boy's search history, taking to the post to speak out in concern and question the dad and sister's reaction.
Particularly after noticing a small, but noteworthy, search the dad and sister missed out from their narration - 'Arson'.
A user commented: "Hilarious but they just scrolled past 'Arson' like that’s normal for an 8 year old haha."
"Death, death, death, arson, death.... Anyone else concerned?" another added.
A third commented: "Yeah bet that lad is chuffed to have a dad that shares that with the world. Maybe dad should show his history for all to see."
I mean, the searches were pretty morbid (despite BBQ t*tties).
While some are concerned about the searched topics, it's actually pretty common for death to cross people's minds. In fact, a 2014 CBS News poll found that 31 percent of people spent some time thinking about death, while 14 percent admitted to thinking about it all the time.
It also found that women were more likely to ponder their demise compared to men.
The questions were more based on their own deaths rather than other people's, however.
