There are quite a few dead people that make more money dead than when they were alive. James Dean for example and there are many law firms that protect that identity.

of the deceased." Sorry, if you're dead, you have no privacy to protect! -- Joe

Reminds of the old George Carlin bit: "If you die while you're on hold, does the light go out at the other end?"
