Janis,

You can use an List of People report to do it, but I think it's easier to use
TMG Utility 5's "Set Living=N"
(http://www.johncardinal.com/tmgutil/setliving.htm) feature. The TMG Utility
method uses some extra tricks (like events that belong to co-principals and
children) to catch cases where the person is obviously dead.
