On the night of November 10, a terrible bug started declaring a millions of Facebook users including its CEO Mark Zuckerberg as Dead..!!

Have a look:

The bug was actually a massive memorial 'remembering' profile glitch which caused this error.

This bug declared millions of Facebook users who logged into their acoount as Dead and turned their account into a "memoralized account",strongly suggesting to everyone who visited their account that they are Dead..!

Thousand of users expressed their displeasure over their digital death via Twitter.

The memorial feature of Facebook was launched in 2015 and it gives the Users a choice to either completely delete their account after their death or turn it into a memorial page so that their Facebook friends and families can leave messages and share memories on their profile.

A official Facebook spokesperson was quoted as saying "For a brief period today, a message meant for memorialized profiles was mistakenly posted to other accounts. This was a terrible error that we have now fixed. We are very sorry that this happened and we worked as quickly as possible to fix it."

Nevertheless, the awkward situation seems to have calmed down and everything seems to be back to normal on Facebook.
