My experience and comments (Score 1)

I have been faced with this situation myself. My best friend committed suicide just two weeks before he was to emigrate from the UK to Canada. He never gave off any sense that this was something he would do or even consider, and so when it happened and I flew to the UK for his funeral, his family and friends asked me to see what I could find. I managed to access most things, and was unable to find a motive for his actions, though did find ample evidence indicating it had been well-planned and thought out for weeks, if not months. It did bring some closure though, even if the exact reason is still not known. I still have a 2 GB PGP-encrypted archive though that was created that evening... I am still wanting to some day be able to find out what might be in there. While my response is a bit long-winded, I guess my point is that it really depends on the situation. Different factors will influence whether it is the right or wrong decision. You'll have to decide that on your own though. Gut feeling is something I found important to listen to in my situation.
