      Technically, until we get to a point where we still have embedded "life signal" chips, there's no way to automatically detect that someone has died. Other than those who've actually seen a body, the best we have is "not seen - at Y - for a while".

    To me, this clearly implies that there’s a server involved… Apple’s server. Am I wrong?

    What happens if someone loses their phone or buys a new phone? What happens if they forget to tell you that they need a new key?

    Yet this seems dependent on Apple's ecosystem. That's a company in the middle.
