Your CiviCRM installation may have undead contacts. Contacts are marked as deceased in CiviCRM by setting the is_deceased column to 1; living contacts are marked with 0.

The Free Software Foundation's mission is to promote and defend free software and build a strong movement for computer user freedom. I do communications at the Foundation, and a majority of my work relies on CiviCRM. I'm a Civi power user and know the software intimately (at least the set of extensions we use), so it was exciting to meet the faces behind the software at the User Summit in September.
