It's a crappy situation, but if you do ever see a LinkedIn update like that for a deceased member, they're actually pretty quick at getting the profile taken down when you contact them about it. Source: did this for a deceased member in my network shortly after getting an update like that. A human responded and took action the same day after I reached out.

I still call the voicemail of my deceased family member from time to time to hear their voice. Can't delete them from my contact list

I would suggest recording one of those calls. There's no telling how long that voicemail will remain active.

Personally I'd just take it as a chance to remember that person instead of making it even easier to forget about them.

I guess I'm just being cynical but LinkedIn's [real] customers are being served by the swiftness of response -- the deceased persons cannot respond to their solicitations for job applicants.
