This is sometimes called the Back-To-Front biography. Instead of starting out with So and so was born in such and such a city in some year, they will start out with the death or funeral- often answering (FAQ"s) about the event, particularily if a famous movie actress or similar- then back to the more conventional past- this was done with the May Mann biography of Jayne Mansfield, and also Least of All Saints, which was a biography of female minister Aimee Semple Mcpherson. Both authors used the Back-to Front perspective- by the way a concept borrwed from mechanical drawing! Both pulled it off very well. I"d call it back to front. Plots based on found historical objects such as Diaries, old coins, pirate treasures- loosely fit into this category and also allow for some form of time-jumping. In movies, this is called flashbacks.
