One more reason to be glad that I logged out and haven't so much as looked at Facebook in over 18 months...
Removed all my 'personal' data (what little there was), photos, history, messages, the works. Reduced it to a 'generic' account for all intents and purposes, and 'deactivated' it (notable that FB doesn't allow you to DELETE your account).
And just walked away… I still stay connected with all the real friends I had there… I don't need FB for that. So nothing lost except one less channel of opportunity for privacy issues to crop up.

Make up a fake death certificate for yourself; they'll let you delete it.
