Post Humorously

Researching another topic altogether, I came across this startling use of the word posthumously:
Nicholas Schmidle, whose narrative account of the death of Osama bin was completed without ever interviewing any members of SEAL Team 6, posthumously wrote an article entitled “In the Crosshairs’’ in The New Yorker.
Posthumously means “after death.” An article may be published posthumously, but writing one posthumously would be quite a feat.
Absolutely amazing!
