Best Friends and Birds
Marhis:
Indeed, no relationship flags are wiped at death: the dead sim does not show in the panel, but the mutual flags are recognized anyway. Friends, best friends, lovers, etc are all counted even if dead. They count for simultaneous loves, too, and the friend/best friend flag is wiped only by the regular relationship decay.
I call bug, because it causes issues in gameplay (sims with the fear of falling out of love, cheating widowers, etc.).
Gwill:
Dead lovers count? Really?
I'm so going to make a femme fatale black widdow sim, with 20 dead husbands in the back yard, if that's true.

Yep. On several occasions, I've had the message "X and Y are no longer best friends" when Y had been dead for a while. So it appears that the relationship decays as normal after they're dead -- and until it has decayed, the dear departed is still counted as a best friend.
(Hasn't happened in a while now: it's possible that some hack I've installed stops it happening, or otherwise that it simply didn't have a chance of happening.)

I believe a patch sorted it out - though it's most likely that they just stopped the message from appearing rather than wiping the flags at death.
J. M. Pescado:
Enemies Accumulate has a fix that halts the rel decay of dead people, preventing weird effects from manifesting.
