This example clears any visibility settings after a player dies, so everyone can see his blip for a short period

-- specify the getBlipAttachedTo function
function getBlipAttachedTo( thePlayer )
  local blips = getElementsByType( "blip" )
  for k, theBlip in ipairs( blips ) do
    if getElementAttachedTo( theBlip ) == thePlayer then
