My first chief died while I was away. When I came back to the game, the robe was back where it was originally, but there is no gravestone for the chief in the graveyard. It's like he just dissappeared!

Is his bones still on the ground?
If they are, then a grave will not appear until he is buried,
Also,if you have the roster of the dead then cheak there

I checked all the gravestones AND the roster of the dead. There are no skeletons anywhere, except when other people die of course, but then tons of people go to bury them. I guess Chief Buco will go down in history as "The Chief who disappeared off the face of the earth when he was 66+" The one evening he was alive,around 66 years old, and the next day he's gone! It's really weird!

Did you have the Tsunami event? It can sweep your choef away, which is basically like him disappearing.

No gravestone or Roster of the Dead; it happened to my dear chief Budi, the tsunami event...

He was my favorite, too.

If he had been "dead" for more than 24 hrs. his body and any recordds of him will not be noted

Maybe that's it then... oh well, I'll just have to remember Chief Buco existed. I don't know. I checked on him at around 7 in the evening and then I wassn't able to check on my tribe again until around 5 or 6 the next day.
