Somehow it seems a little more dubious to do this for someone who may or may not be dead. I think we need to weigh the conflicting issues of "does it matter?" vs. "how stupid are we going to look if they write and complain?"

As for someone arguing that "we think they're dead therefore BLP rules don't apply", hit them with a damn big stick, that's just being silly.
Particularly as, fundamentally, the BLP rules are just a particularly harsh application of the fundamental content rules of Wikipedia: neutrality, verifiability, no original research.
