Same for me. I contacted Facebook about this and they asked for a family member and a death certificate. My friend's family mostly are illiterate and from a small village, so I asked FB if a news clipping(of accident) and obituary from local newspaper would do, they refused. After some communication, I left it. I have since left Facebook but other mutual friends say they still receive his birthday notifications every year.
