A person who capitalises on the public grief surrounding a celebrity's death for attention or personal gain. When a well-known person dies, within minutes a Grief Digger posts a photo of themselves with the famous person, exaggerating their personal connection to them, claiming a close friendship or partial credit for their achievements that can no longer be verified by the deceased. Similar to a Gold Digger, their ulterior motives are in stark contrast to their outward sincerity.
