To be fair to Dawkins, the Facebook representative said that they had to shut down his page temporarily because it had gotten hacked but apparently didn’t notify the owner of the page (i.e. Dawkins). I can understand why Dawkins reached the conclusion he did given that he received no other explanation from Facebook.

To be fair to Dawkins, Facebook didn't realize he was still alive
