Amidst of all the drama that happened on Facebook recently regarding fake news being frontpged, a site wide bug occured yesterday where thousands of user profiles were memorialized with a banner stating that the user was dead. This has also happened to Mark Zuckerberg's profile in which the site declared him to be dead, when he was obviously not.
