Even if it was Bruno that posted that address you didn't know whether anyone had access to it so it was stupid to do so.
Personally I wouldn't be too hard on Timelord2067, as he was trying to do a good thing for someone and he didn't get scammed because he got greedy (which is how a lot of people get scammed).  On the other hand, I never would have donated bitcoin to a dying person for burial costs, as that's something I think is a scam in itself.  What becomes of someone's mortal remains is a trivial matter to me, and science can have my body when I'm done with it for all I care.

But what a nuckin' frightmare this is turning out to be in any case.

You should be cautious or weary of these sorts of things, especially without any sort of verifiable proof. As I said before, being ill or dying are effective as scams because they prey on peoples emotions and people generally want to do a good thing.
Absolutely agree with this sentiment.  Even given how popular Bruno was, the donation idea was not a good one.
