Yes, I too get this.
Six or seven months ago I was informed that my aunt & cousin had been found dead in their Texas apartment with knife wounds, and I reacted with "Hmm, I wonder what could have gone on there?".
Then I proceeded to work out how and why this could have happened.
It doesn't mean that we don't care, don't worry about it.
You just have a different way of reacting. If you just went on to your business without another thought then it would be no empathy. Even the OP gave it thought, He posted here.
To the OP and to all those in this discussion whose relatives have passed my condolences.
By the way I had to edit this post to add the condolences part. It was far from my first thought. as it would be for most NT's
