Hi
It's a bit strange topic and situation so a friend of mine passed away in a traffic accident and I'm sure he have big amount of saved bitcoins in his wallet or wallets.
His parents a bit old school and they know nothing about technology or Bitcoin
So I want to tell his parents about it as probably his private keys is saved in his personal PC or email or his phone or some paper
And no I cannot go to meet them as I'm in another country now but I have his father's phone and another friend of mine living close to them

So do you guys think it's a good idea to tell his parents about it ? To search of they find some twelve words it's a key to some hisen coins ? Or what do you guys think?

Really sad hearing about the passing of your frend due to traffic accident, may his soul rest in peace. I think you are obligated as a friend to make sure his family knows about owned bitcoin and perfect way to do it is try as much as possible to pay the family on condolence visit amd tell them about what your friend was upto with bitcoin and if you can't get to their country, you should probably get your other friend in that country involved so that he'll be able to explain better to the parent of the deceased
