Note, the link I provided does not have any region forcing set on it. It will render whatever country version you have for the country to which your browser ID is set.


Edit:


I just checked the UK version and it too says:


"For security, Apple requires and verifies legal documentation before we can assist with a deceased person’s account. This generally includes a death certificate, and may also require a court order or other documentation. The requirements vary by country and region. We have great sympathy for surviving family members and try to help with

requests as much and as quickly as possible."
