Technically, until we get to a point where we still have embedded "life signal" chips, there's no way to automatically detect that someone has died. Other than those who've actually seen a body, the best we have is "not seen - at Y - for a while".

Yes ty for making that point! And it's worth mentioning that the letters open not close whenever someone goes inactive rather than are closed forever.
