    I’d kinda hope that they don’t just take the word of any random person though - so much space for harassment otherwise

      I don’t know. They probably ask “you dead?” and if you don’t reply, it means you’re dead.

      If the account is obviously active it’s pretty unlikely that they’re deceased. It wouldn’t take a lot of vetting. Although that probably is about 50 times more work than they would bother to put into it, so maybe you have a point.
