How do I change the status for a relative who has recently passed away?

A close, elderly relative passed away recently. No one knows his password.

When I click "Edit profile" and go to the "Basics" form, the usual "living" and "deceased" options do not appear, and there are no "date of death" or "place of death" fields. 

There doesn't seem to be any way to change his status to deceased. His children do not know his password. 

Any tips or suggestions? Has anyone out there encountered this problem?

Thanks, Darius

  Go the the "More Actions" menu on the right hand side of his profile and click "Report".  Select "Deceased" and add a note for the Geni staff.  They will then close his account, giving it back to the close family members.
