There may be a time when you come across the profile of a deceased colleague, classmate, or loved one. We understand how difficult it could be to see their profile on the site after the loss.
If you have the authority to act on behalf of a deceased member, you can request to close the account.
If you aren’t authorized to act on behalf of a deceased member, you can report them as deceased and we will memorialize the profile.
