How identify a deleted profile using Refinitiv Worldcheck API

When a profile is deleted from Worldcheck database, it shows a message on the Refinitiv UI that as per screenshot below. But there is no corresponding field in the API response for screening results or the deleted profile (returns as empty) to indicate the same. So how to handle this via API?

    Apologies for the delayed response.

    Via the API whenever you would try to fetch a profile which has been deleted as part of the World-Check deletion criteria you would see a 404 Not Found response.

    Please see the request and response below for your reference when I attempted to fetch the profile details that you have mentioned:
