I agree that the accounts should perhaps be hidden, but not deleted.
But what about threads and comments?
I think that technically it might be a bit difficult when the deceased person posted comments on other people's threads, and also those comments were quoted in other people's comments.
But they could move all threads started by the deceased person into a separate group, with a "trigger warning" of sorts for whoever clicks on the group page.

that really left me in shock and upset.
i don't think acounts of people who arn't with us should be listed on the site.
it could, in theory, hurt a lot of vunnerable people
i was unfortunate enough to fall in to that trap
thoughts?
