I believe that it would be entirely inappropriate to use any RDA I.2.1 relationship designator for the deceased author. I suppose it would be possible to make a case for having the author be an "other person ... associated with a work" (RDA I.2.2), but there don't seem to be any specific designators that fit the situation.

The authority record says that the deceased author should be included as an added entry. Would the proper relationship designator for this author be "author", "creator", or something else entirely?
