I don't believe leaders have that ability. When it is an issue with the death of a member, the contact information can be found here:

Since you are PM, you can open it, but it doesn't look like you have put the death date into the profile yet. After saving that information, you may need to go to the Privacy tab to change the privacy.

Yesterday, I was just on the trusted list, but now I see that I am also the PM. I know where to go from here. So thank you very much.

Send a note to the team (Info "at" WikiTree) with your source of his death and they will take care of it.
