      Hmm. Are you asking in good faith, or to dogpile? Anyway, sure; I can explain why.

      The Gruesome - clickbait because “if it bleeds it leads.”
      Story - words like “story” are often plainly false when the article is a tiny blurb or fluff piece. Thankfully, this article is an actual story. But remember, it’s still bait.
      of How - clickbait because it asks a question it doesn’t answer, baiting the headline-reader to click.
      Neuralink’s Monkeys - oh, another Elon Musk altar. The press can’t get enough of Musk.
      Actually Died - more bleeding leading.

      Headlines can just be content, rather than a tease. This article title intentionally relays no new info.
