If all you wanted to do was add {{blp}} to talk pages where the article is
in Category:Living people, I'm sure there wouldn't be any problem having a
bot do that.
About automatic death flagging, however, I don't see why the AbuseFilter
can't be used to detect when somebody adds that a subject "died today" or
that so-and-so "was killed" or whatever. Even if it's decided that the
threat of false positives is too great to allow the extension to warn users
("It looks like you're... If you're sure, please remember to attribute this
to reliable sources, then click 'Save page'. Thank you."), having a log of
possible wiki-deaths would be helpful.
