If an IMDb user dies, do you delete that account or not?

Hey, I want to ask a question that has been bugging me for years. If a IMDb user dies, do you automatic delete their account or they need someone to do that? If the day comes that I am dying or I die, I really don't want my stuff I made on IMDb (espically the lists) to be deleted forever, cause I am really proud of that stuff and want it on the site forever after my death. Also IMDb is a website that I love to go on more and proud at what I do for it. Also I am not dying yet and my life is not in threat.

The answer is no. Accounts are only deleted when the account owner chooses to delete the account. If someone dies and has left access details for their account to a friend/family member then obviously that new person could delete the account on behalf of the original owner, but there is no IMDb policy which requires an account to be deleted upon death.
