I'd written an article (in Nepali) about the policies regarding dead person's email and their contents in email and social networking providers (available here) . Facebook, a popular social networking site, has a policy of making a person's page into memorial page after his death. When a person dies, his friends can make his page a memorial page after which the sensitive information like phone number, status updates etc. will be hidden.
As Facebook is new, number of living people in Facebook are higher than the dead people. But as it grows older, the trend will change. In an article it is mentioned that: "Perhaps someday there will be more memorial pages than pages for living people". So there will be more dead people in Facebook than living people huh !
