[Avodah] Lashon Hora on the Dead

[Moshe Y. Gluck]

On Areivim, someone contended:
> I don't think Lashon Hara applies to the dead.

What about Berachos 19a, Hamesaper Achar Mitasan Shel Talmidei Chachamim Nofel B'Gehennom? (See Maharasha, CA, earlier in the Sugya not like the Aruch brought in the margin. The context of the Sugya also seems not like the Aruch, and Maharsha seems to learn that Rashi is consistent with Maharsha's own position.) The Medubar in that Areivim discussion might have had other issues, but I believe Les Man D'palig that he was a TC.
