Student signs up for class, finds out 2 months in that his professor died 2 years ago

This is an old story (2/21), but I just came across it.

Apparently a student signed up for an online art history course prominently mentioning a professor, but without any contact information for the professor. 

2 months into the class, when the student Googled the professor to find contact information, he discovered that the professor had died 2 year prior.

Some interesting discussion in the article about the ethics of schools taking professors' recorded lectures and class materials and reusing them without consent.
