I'm curious, how are these messages written?  I assume they don't say
"I'm on extended leave", and not "NN bit the dust on Dec 1" either.

It varies, the messages are normally composed by a senior staff member (perhaps the Dean of a School), and approved by relatives. We certainly would not use any standard message in these cases, but I think "We regret to inform you that xxx passed away on..." would be typical, followed by some alternative contact details.

Apologies for the obfuscation!
