Facebook accidentally declares several users including its CEO Mark Zuckerberg ‘dead’

A glitch on Facebook changed profiles of several users, including that of Facebook Inc Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, to memorial pages, according to multiple news outlets.

"We hope people who love [ name ] will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate [ his/her ] life," appeared at the top of user profiles, Gizmodo reported.

People took to Twitter to ridicule the glitch.

"Facebook thinks I'm dead I guess? That's awkward," Jason Evagelho tweeted.

Facebook Inc said a glitch that changed profiles of several users, including that of Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, to memorial pages had been resolved.

A message meant for memorialized profiles was mistakenly posted to other accounts, a company representative said in an emailed statement.

"We hope people who love Mark will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate his life," appeared at the top of CEO’s profile before it was corrected.
