Your question does not reveal your relationship to the deceased. Your question also fails to tell us when the tragic accident happened. However, either you or someone who was related to the deceased should consult with an attorney as soon as possible.Depending upon the facts, someone may be entitled to pursue a "wrongful death" lawsuit if someone else caused or contributed to cause the young man's death. Also, the attorney can determine the extent and nature of any assets owned by the deceased at the time of his death, determine who the potential heirs would be and determine which legal procedure would best deal with the situation. You may call me for a consultation or refer a relative of the deceased to me if you choose.
