What happens to your online presence after you die? Exploring death in a digital age.

The human race is living more and more of its daily life online. From social media accounts to banking, we amass digital assets and a digital presence that don't just disappear when we die. What happens to all of it? And how does it affect the people we leave behind? In this series, we explore those questions, and the legal and ethical concerns they raise.
