How to Show a Death on a Genogram (Deceased Symbol, Death Year, Cause of Death)

Mark a death in GenogramAI: select the person, open the status menu and choose Deceased; the symbol gets an X. In the Vitals tab add the year of death (the number inside becomes their age at death) and a cause of death, which shows under their name. Deceased is added to the key. You can also ask the AI assistant, for example: "Ruth died in 2020."
