If the soldier wanted other people to read his e-mail he should have given them his password or he should have used another e-mail service.

BUT...his e-mail was a private thing. If he had wanted anyone else to read them, he would have given his password out to his family. His 'job' was high-risk, and he knew that. I admire Yahoo for respecting the mans privacy, and I hope that 'policy' never changes. These 'e-mails' could hold extremely sensitive material, which I'm sure the man would want taken to his grave. For instance..... Mom was cheating on Dad Dad was cheating on Mom I'm not my Dads real child I'm gay My brother is gay I hate my Dad Hate my Mum I slept with my sister I enjoy sucking my toes (!) Anyhow....I'm sure that the man had every intention of privacy. The fact that he's dead shouldn't take that away. Why the parents would want to have access to his private e-mails is kinda sick.

For instance…..
Mom was cheating on Dad
Dad was cheating on Mom
I’m not my Dads real child
I’m gay
My brother is gay
I hate my Dad
Hate my Mum
I slept with my sister
I enjoy sucking my toes (!)

Anyhow….I’m sure that the man had every intention of privacy. The fact that he’s dead shouldn’t take that away.

"The family's lawyer, Brian Daily, told the Detroit News that he would seek to put John Ellsworth in control of his son's estate, which would give him the right to the e-mails." First they need to get control of the estate. As far as it goes it's fairly straitforward. The property of the deceased go to the estate.
