Suppose you have an account in a social or professional network (e.g. RG). Next, suppose you die. This is not a wish, of course; but you know, it can happen. How can the administrators of the network get acquainted with the sad news? I am afraid that they will keep your account open for ever; even uploading some contributions of yours from times to times (e.g., a preprint, in RG), let you be happy with this or not, as if you were not even free to pass away.

Here is the question: is there any way to avoid slightly grotesque accidents like these?

Why this question? Here is a motivation: from times to times RG announces that someone, who passed away months or years ago, has just uploaded a paper of his. I know that this happens because one of his former coauthors has eventually decided to upload that paper. Nevertheless, it always shocks me a bit.
