Death Notices
When persons whose fingerprints are on file are reported as deceased,
the prints should be taken from the active file and assembled with
any other prints of the person concerned. These should be plainly
marked Dead and filed in a separate cabinet or section. All the
index cards on this individual should also be marked Dead and filed
in a separate section. These should be retained for possible future
reference.
In this connection, Death Notice forms (No. R-88) can be obtained
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation so that information
concerning these deaths can be properly noted in its fingerprint file.
