A life after death (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'a life' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'death' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'after' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obit that I've seen before include "Short report of perishing" , "Write-up of a death" , "Notice of one's passing" , "Biography after death, in short" , "Short biography of someone who has died (abbr)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
