They can bring up the issue to the authorities, but the family needs to observe the situation and try to be in the child's life. That means treating the other parent as the guardian of the child, with respect and asking before doing things for and with the child. It is sad that the deceased did not manage to sort things out, but the letter is only one piece of evidence, not a witness to verbal or physical abuse.
