Weird deal.  My best friend from childhood passed away in South Korea last week from a heart attack.  He was married to a Filipino lady and had a stepdaughter.  Unfortunately he didn’t leave instructions on accessing his phone or laptop so she is having a hard time sorting through things.  His company HR and the embassy aren’t helping much.  Anyone here have experience with someone kicking the bucket in a foreign country and how to deal with it?

Yikes, sorry to hear.

Did he have a will?  Was he traveling or domiciled in S. Korea?

I know a guy, but I don't have his number.  I'm sure you can find him...his name is "Park".

He had a will and his wife named as beneficiary and stuff.  So that type of thing is squared away as far as his company life insurance etc.  What he didn’t do is things related to his cremation and she can’t access his phone or laptop to get some info necessary to handle accounts etc.  Bit of a language barrier and I suspect he didn’t convert a lot of stuff to POD accounts with his wife as beneficiary.  I really have no idea.  Just a weird situation as he was planning on moving all of them here next year when he retired but didn’t write shit down.  I am just trying to help his wife find a resource that might be useful.

I found him on pages 247 thru 2047 of the phone book!

To clarify, he was working there as a contractor for a company that worked for DoD.
