Isn’t that where the saying “He took it to his grave” comes from? You cannot attempt to bring a criminal charge against someone AFTER they are not on this earth anymore. The deceased do not have the opportunity to defend themselves. They are dead….If the formal charge was BEFORE they died, thats a different story….
