Absurdism corner

Depending on jurisdiction, not necessarily.

For example, the GDPR does not apply to a dead person's personal information, BUT other national legislation may well do so.
Er... this is the absurdism corner. I was joking. It's obvious that the user is not dead, whatever button they press. They may just be pretending to be someone else who is dead.
Anyway, the problem is that searching for a death certificate can turn out someone is NOT officially dead. Then the interested person is likely alive and has rights to their personal data in many jurisdictions. Including to the data point that they're alive.
So the outcome of the search may or may not be protected depending on the result itself. So you may need to ensure proper access before answering the query, and do so in a way that isn't itself an answer to the query, so require proof of permission
to all queries before answering whether there is a death certificate for the person..
