On Facebook, I see dead people. Do you?
Although the times might feel apocalyptic, I'm happy to report your friends aren't all dead (probably, unless you're a dinosaur). Or, at least, they're not dead on the outside.
Venturebeat is calling the event an instance of a bug (or is it a new feature?) and has reached out to the company to learn more
It's also possible that a hack of a kind has occurred. On Facebook's memorial page instructions, the company explains you can memorialize others' accounts.

Facebook Friday: Mark Zuckerberg is dead. Your friends are dead. We are all dead.
