Will the criminal record be revoked when a person dies?

If a person dies, the criminal record will be revoked. If a criminal suspect dies in the investigation stage of the public security organ, the public security organ shall revoke it in accordance with the provisions of relevant laws. If the case has reached the stage of examination and prosecution by the procuratorate, it will not be prosecuted; If it has reached the stage of court trial, the trial will be terminated. However, if civil damage is caused to the victim, it shall not affect the victim's claim for compensation for civil damage.

The local public security organ will keep the relevant files and punishment records of administrative punishment. However, the records are not open to anyone, and can only be provided to the outside world after the judicial organs or lawyers handle criminal cases and report them to the competent authorities for examination and approval. Do not provide inquiry services to ordinary units or individuals. Illegal records have little impact on the later life of the parties, while criminal records will have an impact on the parties and their children. I don't see any regulations that can eliminate criminal records. After the punishment records are processed, they will be left in the public security organs for emergencies. The record of administrative punishment will not be eliminated, but the public security organs have confidentiality management regulations, and ordinary people cannot view it, so it will not have a great impact on the parties.
