If you're near the person (same location or within sight on the road) you can do all of the usual functions. If you're beyond sight or not in the same location (ie in a building) you are only shown a text box that allows you to change the name.
ex:
A further extension would be to have a third status if the person was dead in sight of you that simply says "This person is dead". Until you were within sight of the body again you'd see the "You can no longer see this person" message. Names would always remain clickable so no "psychic power"
