None of the above, just wasn't available to post for a while. (After I post this reply I'll be unavailable for several hours too, so don't mistake my silence for anything else.)
I think there are at least two issues here.
The first, and the less worrisome, is that, although it's admittedly very hard to collate information among departments, there are some trivial things that ought not to be missed. If it takes three-plus years to approve someone for immigration, surely it's not unreasonable to perform some sort of check to make sure the person is still alive. But this probem may handle itself so long as the immigrant has to appear in person with ID and so forth in order to confirm.
The second, and the more worrisome, is that those documents could have been used by someone else. In this case the deceased immigrant was a victim rather than a terrorist, so his family and friends won't be trying to misuse those documents to get a green card for someone else. But I don't know, and neither do you, that similar documents haven't been sent out for other now-deceased immigration applicants and used by other parties with false identification.
Those are tentative opinions and open to change, of course. But even if these concerns can be addressed, I don't think the issue itself is a nonstarter.
