It’s no secret that Google Street View cameras inadvertently capture people in their photos. Most of the time, they’re snapped in commercial or business sectors of cities: crossing the street, waiting at a bus stop, taking a smoke break from work.

What’s different about finding dead relatives on Google Street View is that these aren’t strangers or anonymous passersby. Even though their faces are blurred, you can still recognize them. And, unlike regular staged photographs, the stitched-together panoramic Google Street View images are candid and quotidian. They’re not glamorous portraits taken during an important event or on a special day; they’re just split-second glimpses into a regular moment from their everyday lives.

In residential neighborhoods, Google’s cars often capture seniors, especially elderly men, tending to daily chores or spending time in their yards. Redditors have claimed they found photos of their grandfathers raking leaves, retrieving the mail, riding tractors, and even dumpster diving in neighbors’ trash cans. Long-dead dogs have been spotted through Google Street View, as have photos of beloved cars that were sold upon their owners’ deaths.

Sometimes people also find images they don’t want to see. In 2013, a father in Richmond, California, found a satellite image on Google Maps that showed the body of his slain son, shortly after he was shot and killed next to a train track.

But for most people, finding dead relatives in Google Street View can be a great comfort. The father-in-law of a Reddit user called lovelyriver2929 was elated when he discovered his late-wife standing in front of their home in one of the photos taken of their address.

“He goes and looks at it sometimes,” she wrote. “He loves it because it was just her doing something completely normal on a completely normal day.”

For some people, it’s a reminder of what their loved ones looked like before they got sick, when they were still healthy enough to go outside and wash the car or mow the lawn. Sometimes these are even the last known images to be taken of a person.

“My grandpa died in 2017 and no one had any pictures with him from recent years. He only took photos when he was holding babies, and all us grandkids are in our teens and 20s,” one Reddit user wrote. “But I did this same thing and found a Google Street View photo of him mowing his front lawn from 2016. It was really good to see him doing something he loved to do and was always doing when he was here.”
