Teen Tenant Died After Lease Terminated During Overstay

In Florida, Teen killed in motorcycle accident  ( highly suspect that his plan to claim on insurance went awry and strong prescription painkillers involved).

Single person occupancy and he was the only person on lease.

He was in the midst of moving out, but left behind starving animals, drug paraphernalia, junk.

Now multiple strangers are driving around and selling off his 6 vehicles and have been staying in the house after his death.  Those people are claiming his belongings as their own and their stories do not add up at all.  I am not interested in being a party to their unlawful behaviour.

He already had a large payout on a previous insurance claim that he had run out of and told me that he "had a plan". He was showing the house to potential replacement tenants earlier on the day is was killed. 

Our attorney advised, but I am very interested in your opinion and experiences here.  THANK YOU.
