I wouldn't worry about it. They are unlikely to be making or accepting any challenges, on this mortal coil.

Some even log-in several days after their alleged "death".
(e.g. Henk called Cheeta2)

Complete stab in the dark, I'll venture that he wasn't dead.

Is this Bobby Fischer?
Did you know that you can make money hiring yourself out to people who believe in the "Rapture"?
Those people need to arrange to have someone notify their loved ones who didnt make it, take care of their pets, etc.
So, if you can prove you are an evil person who won't make it to the "Rapture" then they will pay you a monthly fee as a retainer, so you can take care of last their minute business when they are called.
I have several clients. Its part of the reason I need to advertise my atheism, and my frequent public violations of the "Unforgivable sin" (blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which I do regularly and loudly).
When they start to lose faith that the Rapture will even happen (after 20 years of waiting, some of them do begin to doubt), I have to encourage then that, yes, it is just around the corner. Of course I cant be too convincing or they may start to doubt my unbelief. It is a fine line to tread. But I manage. its how I can stay semi-retired and still live in the lap of luxury.
Yeah, the website that knows about a user's personal life would be the NSA, not chess.com.
Is someone taking too long to move in one of your games?
Someone's moves in one of my games just seems so lifeless.
To the OP: I am dead as we speak. My profile is still active, but I am dead. It's hard to type with ghost fingers. I'm looking into a Stephen Hawking type machine, but for now, I am resorting to occupying bodies of living people. Also, chess is frown upon in heaven. I guess someone is bad at it up here (wink wink).

How do you know where you are at? Don't forget the relevant twilight zone episode.
Perhaps if chess.com adopted some code which would close accounts which are never logged into after a year or two, then a truer number of players would be known. But I think it probably sells better to advertise 7 million members.
There are one or two who's passed on, I think.
One fairly regular older guy, who I knew was ill, hasnt logged on for almost 3 years.

More like almost 9 million members:
I googled that guy, he died in Oct 2011. His account is still here , though.
RIP Chesskia
As you know, many people die everday. There are millions of people on chess.com. I like to know which profiles here are of dead people? Of course, after they die their profile is still active.
