" Occupier dead " on 1901 census return

[essexdavid]

While browsing the censuses for people in an old album of post cards , I came across the entry
" occupier dead ". I've never seen this before and wonder how it came about and how the enumerator gained this information. Has anyone come across it ?
 I'm not sure if I'm allowed to give the reference but can provide it in a personal message if anyone is interested.

Maybe the person had just died and was still at home on census night, often a person would have been at home between death and funeral, with family etc staying with the coffin.

If that was the case someone corpse sitting probably told him (either on the form or to their face)

Keyboard - my ignorance showing , but where is the Folio  number to be found ? Also, the page as printed on the census form differs slightly from the page number shown at the bottom of the census image.

Iolaus - you may be right but if so, the corpse sitters weren't included in the household .
This particular enumerator elsewhere shows a property as " new tenant moving in shortly " !

Hi they should follow the RG13/4076?

If not give an easily searched name on the same page,  year of birth/ place of birth?

If you are on Ancestry, when on the census image press "S"
