According to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16944886/how-to-kill-zombie-process

In order to clean a zombie process I should kill its parent.

In my case the parent is PID 1 (init). Which according to: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/7441/can-root-kill-init-process

can't be killed. (even if it could be killed, I'm not sure it's such a good idea)

root@localhost:~# ps -ef | grep bcmrm
root     16772 30829  0 22:47 pts/8    00:00:00 grep bcmrm
root     21272     1  0 Jan26 ?        00:00:02 [bcmrm] <defunct>

What are my options? And why didn't init process cleaned it up?

Thanks,
