Private Space should update upon death

It would be great if people in private space were attached to the real people under the covers and when they die it replaces them with the real people, this would remove the process of changing the private person to deceased then finding and merging them with the original person

    You are asking the system to automatically know that a private space record has become deceased. Many private space records are just a name with no dates or places in the vital information. The system could not identify that these are truly the same record as the deceased record. I do not believe it is very likely this would be implemented. It is essentially asking the system to automatically merge and we know that can be very dangerous. Consider the difficulty associated with possible duplicates

    Living persons in private space can be connected to deceased persons on the public tree.

    I would not want a person moved out of my own private space automatically, just by someone else marking a duplicate profile deceased. That would be a very unpleasant surprise.
