Living people (me and my siblings!) added as deceased

Christine said: Imagine how disconcerting it is to discoverer my cousin added me and all my living siblings as DECEASED on familysearch! This should not be possible and I should be allowed to correct it without having to go through support! How long will it take to be corrected?

It looked like it was working, but then when I checked the final product, it still said deceased. However, I was able to easily change the status from deceased to living via the app. Perhaps this will work for you too (although your situation is slightly different, because you are not the person who originally recorded the information).
