Here are the Apple support pages that outline the Activation Lock - and the only mechanisms by which it can be turned off:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201441
As you will discover, unless you are the owner of the AppleID that was last used to activate the device, or unless you can secure the cooperation of the previous owner, you’ll not be able to defeat or bypass the Activation Lock. Without documentary evidence that you are the original owner (such as sales receipt showing the serial number), Apple won’t assist - and nobody here will be able to help you.
Without the Apple ID and Password, that iPad will be useless for you. Activation Lock is a theft prevention system. you should recycle the device at any Apple Store.
Than I guess I should just throw it out because if the previous owner is dead he obviously can provide me with the password. Thanks anyway.
