I feel that this is turning into OP bashing.
Please note that the OP never said anything about "
erasing":

There's a difference between content that is not being
listed (
not shown,
hidden, placed in a separate group with a trigger warning, etc...) and
erased.
The OP might have found it difficult to express how it should be done.
The fact is, the subject upsets the OP, and this is what should be taken in consideration. It's the ones who are around we should care more about.
And besides, we already have the official answer...

We have no way of deleting all of a person's posts or threads, deceased or not. It's a very manual process right now.
We also have very little in way of identifying information on an individual unless they choose to share such with us. So verification of a person's death would be extremely difficult for us. We couldn't just take someone's word for it, we would need to verify the death ourselves to be certain.
So it's problematic for a number of reasons. But it's something I'll think about ways we could help alert people to that fact in a way that would be possible for us and maybe help soften the blow...
Best,
