Sorry, but the convention is the opposite here, and I've switched from "passed away" to "has died" now.

Generally we try to avoid euphemisms in HN titles. I understand that tastes and conventions vary widely, though, especially with such an international community. It's impossible to work the same way, or to work well, for everyone.
