USA Today reported that Facebook will create an A Look Back video for Berlin’s son, who died Jan. 28, 2012, as his Facebook account cannot be accessed by his family.

The social network said it would take “a couple of days.”

Berlin’s video of his tearful plea to Facebook went viral, with more than 950,000 views at the time of this post, in just two days.
