How to change status from living to deceased of someone who entered their own record into FS.

NADudley

My friend, who is LDS, passed away on April 13th of this year. I promised his sister I would changed his status from living to deceased but I cannot see his record because he entered his own record himself. I am also LDS and entered a new record for him hoping a duplicate would show up and I could merge the two records but that has not happened. What can I do to retrieve his original record? He has had all ordinances except for sealing to his previous wife.

I believe the ward clerk will need to change the status on his church account to deceased. That sometimes can take a while.
