Submission + - Emailing roommate's friend post-mortem
lawpoop writes: Hello all —
My roommate recently passed because of substance abuse. Unfortunately, his family situation was as messed up as the rest of his life, and his family is out of the country, from another culture, and *extremely* hard to get a hold of. I've never met or spoke with any of them.
His computer is still here. I'm contemplating logging on and seeing if I can contact whoever he spoke with via email. However, this could be seen as an invasion of privacy. I'm not sure if I can get permission from his family.
If this happened to me, I would like for somebody to do this. But this many not be what he would want, or what his family would want. Also, I'm not sure about law in this area. What do you think?
