When I'm dead...

... what happens to my social media accounts?

Such a morbid thought. 

Will my followers know I am dead? How will they know? Will 1 of my friends pick up my phone and post an update on Facebook and Twitter? 

What would it say? "Hi, I am dead, no need to follow this account anymore"

Thank goodness that we are permanently logged in on our phones, otherwise how would a person guess our passwords to deactivate an account.

A friend of mine was killed in a plane accident in 2013. I have written on his Facebook wall for his birthday and once or twice when I miss him.

What is the point though?

I think I need to leave a stipulation in my will:

Tee, please leave a message on Facebook and Twitter for all my followers & have Nifty250 print my Instagram photos for my friends and family and then deactivate the account.

While we are on last requests: Please remove the folders titles PVT on my hard drives. (Along with that box)

Have a look at Amanda's account. She used to moan about work, and then she was diagnosed with brain cancer. Suddenly the tweets became a running commentary of her life as time is running out. How sad is that?
