I would recommend that they contact both a lawyer and Medicare and sue them for fraud. If they feel his patient rights were violated because they did something unethically, that will only add more credence to the law-suit.
If the hospital used the death for additional funding, the consequences are severe if they are busted. Have been in healthcare for 35 years; Medicare does NOT fuck around with fraud. You would have to be an ass in this day and age to risk it as the consequences do not outweigh the benefits.
All my best, again, sincere condolences.
