Yahoo to Give Family E-mail

USATODAY.com - Yahoo will give family slain Marine's e-mail account
I am not sure how I feel about this -- really what if the guy had skeletons he really did not want his family, especially his Mom and Dad to know about? This is a slippery slope in my opinion. Of course, your sentimentally for the parents - but what if?
WIXOM, Mich. (AP) - E-mail provider Yahoo has pledged to give the family of a Marine killed in Iraq full access to their son's e-mail account, ending a court battle that began after his parents sought messages he wrote before his death.
An Oakland County probate judge signed an order Wednesday directing Yahoo Inc. to provide the contents of the e-mail account used by Lance Cpl. Justin M. Ellsworth, 20, who was killed Nov. 13 while inspecting a bomb in Al Anbar province.
