What happens to a person's facebook account when they die?!? - xstina - 08-10-2013 11:24 AM

My friend recently passed away in a car accident and I'm wondering, will they shut down her account?

A family member might shut it down Facebook won't do it themselves

No. They probably would not know that person is dead.. I think it just stays there.
Sorry for your loss, by the way.

No it will just stay there unused forever unless someone hacks it.

No, her account will still be there because Facebook has no way of knowing she's passed away. I'm very sorry about the loss of your friend.
