I applaud Yahoo for adhearing to their policies. All the familly has to do is send legal documents of their son's death, and legal documents stating who they are. At that point I'm sure the account information will be released as per Yahoo's policy.
Instead of trying to get the media involved, they should be getting their laywer involved as the clock's ticking on the 90 no-activity delete. Their lawyer will know the correct documents to send over to yahoo as proof of their son's death and that his parents have control over their dead son's belongings/estate. Perhaps what yahoo *could* do, or *should* do, is remove the 90 day time-out on their son's e-mail account until they can have a chance of going through the courts. Perhaps extend it up to 365 days...
