I do not think there is a possibility to be 100% sure that all funds from the donation will finish in the right place. Bruno did not leave here such a possibility, considering that he was prepared for this outcome. He was an experienced person and I personally believe he provided a way for someone from his family to have access to these funds. Likewise with his Bitcointalk accounts.
one of the best scam buster, would not leave it unsafe where they need to write a few words on paper.

Unfortunately, we can't change anything here, we can no longer help him if it was once possible, I'd rather divert money to save someone's life. I saw a few charity initiatives here.
Whatever. OP, I believe in your best intentions but I think this must be your decision or wait for some time, maybe we will hear something from Bruno's account successor.

Bruno's accounts have already been in the possession of at least two other parties so we can't really say how safe they are. If it's not 100% certain that the money will get to where it should then it's silly potentially throwing it away and I would agree with you that it would be better helping out someone's life who is in need of it. As for what Bruno did in preparation all we can do is speculate.

We also don't know for certain if that was him making the posts. The images he posted are from December last year. Multiple people have had access to that account over the years and someone could have easily made that post with or without his consent or involvement.

This is certainly a possibility, but the odds of some one else timing this so closely with his death seem pretty slim. Con artists also have some very distinct tells as well when they are running a con, and I didn't see any serious red flags in any of his postings. I do agree though it is probably a good idea to stop sending coins to his addresses though until it is absolutely verified his family has access.

Trying to get money for tragedies or capitalising off somebody's death is a common scam because it works so well. They could have been working in cahoots with him as well, and assuming he is actually deceased (is there anything online other than the obituary sites and funeral home?). I'm not saying he faked his own death or anything but until I see something concrete I'll keep an open mind. I don't really believe it was someone else posting from his account either but using pictures from December was a little suspect, but nothing would surprise me with Bruno. I could never really figure him out. There were times when he seemed fairly desperate for cash in the past, especially when he sold his accounts, and that ICO or whatever he tried a while ago just seemed like every other cash grab ICO people come up with and when he popped up asking for money I was a little concerned. I think I'd be a little disappointed if he didn't figure out someway to troll us from beyond the grave though and that's why I'm still waiting for his accounts to reactive at some point. Selling them for one final time would definitely be a way to get a little extra cash. I probably wouldn't even blame him for selling them given the circumstances.
