Short published biography of someone recently dead (abbr) (4)

I believe the answer is:

obit

(Other definitions for obit that I've seen before include "Death notice (colloq.)" , "funeral service" , "19d to remember" , "Biographical death notice (abbr)" , "Remarks on passing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
