So.....a healthy, active 40-something year-old man elected someone as a "legacy contact" for his FB page? Hinky.
Bingo.

I believe family can ALSO request for the page to be memorialized.
According to the Facebook Help Center.....
What will happen to my account if I pass away?
You can tell us in advance whether you’d like to have your account memorialized or permanently deleted from Facebook.
Memorialized Accounts
Memorialized accounts are a place for friends and family to gather and share memories after a person has passed away. Memorialized accounts have the following key features:
The word Remembering will be shown next to the person's name on their profile
Depending on the privacy settings of the account, friends can share memories on the memorialized Timeline
Content the person shared (ex: photos, posts) stays on Facebook and is visible to the audience it was shared with
Memorialized profiles don't appear in public spaces such as in suggestions for People You May Know, ads or birthday reminders
No one can log into a memorialized account
Memorialized accounts that don't have a legacy contact can't be changed
Groups with an admin whose account was memorialized will be able to select new admins
Pages with a sole admin whose account was memorialized will be removed from Facebook if we receive a valid request

What is a legacy contact?
A legacy contact is someone you choose to look after your account if it's memorialized. Once your account is memorialized, your legacy contact will have the option to do things like:
Write a pinned post for your profile (ex: to share a final message on your behalf or provide information about a memorial service)
Respond to new friend requests (ex: old friends or family members who weren't yet on Facebook)
Update your profile picture and cover photo
You also have the option to allow your legacy contact to download a copy of what you've shared on Facebook, and we may add additional capabilities for legacy contacts in the future.
Your legacy contact can't:
Log into your account
Remove or change past posts, photos and other things shared on your Timeline
Read messages you've sent to other friends
Remove any of your friends
[...]
Note: You must be 18 or older to select a legacy contact.

Okay, so it seems like this was set up in advance. I find that very strange.
ITA. That being said, would VV have knowingly designated his Legacy Contact? I don't even know how to do this within my own Facebook profile. Is it password protected? Does the other person have to accept the "invite"? How does this work?
This requires a certain level of responsibility (OK, a huge one - considering your Facebook friend has passed away), and in this case, even that fact hasn't been fully confirmed (yet).
Has anyone here designated a LC on Facebook? The reason I ask, is I'm wondering if this could have been done surreptitiously, without his knowledge, if someone had access to his account.
Just thinking out loud here.
:cow:
ETA: if he did this on his own, it brings up a whole other set of questions I can't even wrap my mind around just yet. Was Vince in fear for his life? :scared:

I looked at his page last night and it hadn't changed yet. One thing that seemed strange to me was that the page was very new this year.
Ok, that's just odd. I learned about this case on Monday, I think, and found her FB page which led me to his, and saw the 'Remembering' that day.
You know what I do find hinky? That it's noted that she was married twice, and divorced at least once. I am taking that to mean that no records of the 2nd divorce have been located. So was she engaged, while still married? They were planning on getting married this summer, yes?
Also bizarre is a friend of Vince thinking that he was unaware of her prior marriages.
I think her first marriage was at a young age and only lasted a few months. It's possible it was annulled, so there would be no divorce record.
She met her first husband in Connecticut when both were in their early 20's. He repaired air conditioning and heating systems. She was a nanny. They met, he said, on one of his jobs.
I'm playing a little catch-up here, so excuse my stupid questions. I heard through some source a couple of nights ago when this broke, that there might even be a chance that Vincent never even was at the island that day, and the whole kayak incident was staged. This of course would mean that his body would not be found floating in the water, or anywhere else for that matter. This was on some TV news station that was reporting on it.
Have witnesses come forward that saw both of them out kayaking that day ? Has it been established that he did indeed die due to drowning and is out in the bay somewhere ?
