It would be nice to have. A friend of mine died several years ago, and none of us would have known except that he stopped posting.
One of the online group finally flew to Atlanta to investigate and found out he was dead.
That was about the time we started what was known as "The Emergency List" which was where one of the group started keeping a contact/next of kin sort of list so they (we) would have someone to call if any one of us sort of dropped off the planet.
For that group is more important than most because we all have pets that need care ... but we don't have family we keep in touch with. So, most of my online friends know who to call here that can grab their house key and see if I'm dead or just in a keep to myself mood.
