This is actually a thing I’ve experienced. The dog has been dead for 4 years. Obviously, I’m friends with my dog, so it reminds me of her birthday (couple days ago) and then I remember that this account exists and they won’t let me delete it. I tried to report her as deceased and it wanted an obituary.
That’s what I tried to do, and that’s when it said to submit evidence. I was like, “uh, the evidence is that I was there when it happened and you can see from the profile that it’s for a DOG,” and they said that wasn’t good enough. I just gave up. Her profile will outlast all of us, probably.
Maybe you could email them a vet record instead? The vet can print out her vaccines and the computer will put a deceased label on it if shes marked as deceased. Vet records are technically legal documentation so they may qualify

You should be able to tell Facebook they passed away, and turn it to a memorial page.

I’d kinda hope that they don’t just take the word of any random person though - so much space for harassment otherwise
I don’t know. They probably ask “you dead?” and if you don’t reply, it means you’re dead.
