iCloud of dead relative hacked into

A very close relative recently died and someone has accessed all their online photos. Nobody had access to the relatives phone so I assume someone has hacked into the iCloud account somehow. Information gleaned from the photos has already been used for questionable purposes

Obviously it is illegal to hack into the personal content and information of people who are alive, but what about those who have died? I am considering going to the police before this escalates, but am not sure if they will be interested

It is a criminal offence to gain unauthorised access to computer material. The fact the account holder is dead is immaterial.
