Facebook's Death Policy

Quote:
In an Oct. 26 blog post, Max Kelly, Facebook's head of security, announced Facebook's policy of "memorializing" profiles of users who have died, taking them out of the public search results, sealing them from any future log-in attempts and leaving the wall open for family and friends to pay their respects. Though most media reports claimed this was a new Facebook feature, a spokeswoman for the company told TIME that it's an option the site has had since its early days.

Every now and then I wondered. Maybe others do too.

A teenaged girl was killed

A teenaged girl was killed in a coyote attack near where I live and I was just looking at her Facebook page.

I was wondering if it would be kept online or not.
