If someone dies, what happened to their facebook account???

Social networks are intended for us to tell everyone what's going on in our lives, we publish content, we connect with our friends and ultimately share our lives. But what happens when that life is over? What happens to Facebook account when the user dies? Every day you are notified by friendship requests or that it's someone's birthday when they're actually dead. Can you not do anything? On OneHowTo.com we tell you What happens to a Facebook account when someone dies.

If nobody warns Facebook, nothing happens

Facebook knows everything about us and might be able to detect if a user has died by changes in their account and the messages they leave their loved ones, but for now they are not using that information for anything. Thus, if the account holder dies, but nobody notifies Facebook of the death, nothing will change. It will just look like the user has stopped using the social network, but their profile will still be on Facebook.

Account closure

Facebook finds that a user has died when a friend or relative and notifies them. So they can close the account, you must make a "Special request for the account of a deceased person" (You can access this page by searching the Help section). Facebook will ask you for your information, the full name of the deceased, email, and URL of their page. In addition, it will ask you what your relationship to the deceased was and what you want to do. One option is Delete this account . You will also have to provide the date of death and, if possible, a death certificate.
