Deceased Next of kin AppleID help - eviltoast

My brother recently passed away. It was sudden and I have reason to believe it was caused by another person. I talked to the det. that was handling his case but he was no help. It said it was possible but no evidence at the scene to suggest it. Although there is something to suggest there is just not at the scene and he won’t do nothing about it so I need access to his Apple ID

My question is I went through the recovery stages and it showed my number in the end and said i would get a text with info. This was after I selected ‘don’t have this’ it shows my number. How is my number on there? Can Apple see my number of the phone I’m using to reset the password or is it that my brother set my number to be a part some recovery?

I dont have his phone. It was stolen from the scene. And his number is now disconnected. No access to emails either as other people he hung around kept changing his password. I might have his card if our mom didn’t throw it out with the rest of his stuff.

    I’m guessing you’re fighting windmills here, out of desperation at your surprise grief. I can read between the lines of your brothers situation and, well… Occam’s razor.

    I would assume he chose your number as his recovery number if it’s showing up at that point. Might be able to get into the account that way. Not sure what good that would do without the phone, but worth a try for photos maybe backed up
