All it requires is a submission of the obituary to Facebook. That's all take it takes to prove to normal people that someone has died.
If the relatives of Bruno or anyone close to him could provide the death certificate and wanted to lock his account then why not lock the account. Who ever is accessing the account does know how the forum works as they edited out his threads and locked it and as far as i know his death is confirmed by some websites and i know there are users here in the forum who met him personally and i have not read anyone confirming that Bruno was really posting from his account and he died on the
specific date as mentioned in the websites.
